  • Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake

    I must begin by noting that I am unapologetically opposed to vegan dishes “because it’s healthier”.  If you need to supplement your food with weird things to get the taste and texture of animal products, you should probably just eat the animal products, because many of them were meant to be eaten.  If you’re philosophically…
