I cook veggies almost exclusively with dry heat. Roasting does wonders. Drives off water, heats, and concentrates flavors.
Perhaps tossed with olive oil, and some salt. Simple, and good.
I guarantee my roasted broccoli is better tasting than ANY vegan broccoli preparation on earth (which apparently would be serving it raw with maybe something else raw on top).
Vegan spices? Lesse, they don't cook anything—vegans eat RAW food, right? Most spices require cooking to release flavors. Many Indian spices, for example actually taste BAD when un cooked. A few seconds in hot oil... awesome.
Veganism is crazy, IMO. I've never met a vegan who wasn't more than a little nutty. It's their CHOICE, but it is none the less true that virtually all I've met are kooks. BTW, how many strict carnivores have you met? Think they'd be nuts, too? How about people that only eat meat, and only eat it RAW. That would be the meat-eating version of a vegan. If the one idea is insane, so is the other.
