Perfecting the Art of Cooking…Vegan
Many people believe are challenged by the idea of preparing a vegan meal that is healthy, truly tastes good -- and is ethical from sourcing to eating.

This essay will describe the steps in the process of making a vegan dish containing kale, potato, chickpeas, couscous, and olive oil.
Good vegan cooking depends on an understanding of how to source food in order to obtain the freshest possible ingredients and, if organic food is an objective, how to ensure the recipe ingredients have been grown according to organic standards. Shopping for this vegan meal is relatively straightforward, and involves purchasing a can of chickpeas, a bunch of kale, about six small thin-skinned new potatoes, a bulb of garlic, and half a cup of dried couscous.

Even though this is the heart of the recipe, the preparation process will only take about fifteen minutes. While the water is heating on the stove, the potatoes need to be washed and cut into quarter-inch slices. Setting the potatoes aside, the chef can begin prepping the other ingredients.

Chocolate is a slightly psychoactive substance but it has some health benefits when consumed in its purest forms and in moderation.
