How to dine out as a vegan from "summary" of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vegan Cooking by Beverly Lynn Bennett,Ray Sammartano
When you’re dining out as a vegan, it’s important to plan ahead and do a little research. Many restaurants now offer vegan options, but it’s always a good idea to check the menu online or call ahead to see what they have available. Some restaurants even have a separate vegan menu, so be sure to inquire about that as well. If you find yourself at a restaurant that doesn’t have many vegan options, don’t be afraid to ask your server for modifications or substitutions. Most restaurants are willing to accommodate dietary restrictions, so don’t hesitate to speak up and ask for what you need. When ordering, be sure to specify that you are vegan and ask about any hidden ingredients that may not be obvious. For example, some dishes may contain dairy, eggs, or other animal products that you’ll want to avoid. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so don’t be shy about asking questions. If you’re unsure about what to order, don’t be afraid to get creative and customize your meal. Many restaurants will allow you to build your own dish with the ingredients they have on hand, so don’t be afraid to mix and match to create a delicious vegan meal. Lastly, don’t forget to show your appreciation for restaurants that offer vegan options. By supporting these establishments, you’re not only enjoying a delicious meal, but you’re also encouraging more restaurants to cater to the growing demand for vegan food. So be sure to thank your server and leave positive feedback for the restaurant so they know that their efforts are appreciated.
