Southern Fried Chickenless Chicken
June 29, 2018
We will be substituting the chicken for this recipe with tofu. Traditionally it would be seasoned and then deep fried. We are marinated the tofu to replace the seasoning and although deep frying we are also putting it in the oven to ensure a well flavoured dish. Great on a barbecue.

Vegan Calling
Vegan Calling started as a number of scribbled down notes, recipe cards and our adaptations of favourite meals! We originally wanted to create a place for all these recipes to go so we originally thought of a cookbook. However, an online database allows us to not only avoid various stains and spills, we’re also now able to share our recipes with the rest of the web. Non-Vegan friends that come around for meals are always surprised at how delicious our various starters, main meals, desserts and everything in between taste so good! They’re always asking how we make them so wonderful without using animal products – this site lets them and everyone else know how we do it!
