These aren't referral links. They are a curated list of products that are available in each of our supported countries - USA, UK, India. We tried to get coverage across all categories of non-vegan ingredients as much as possible. Don't plan on ever doing affiliate links.
Being a long-term vegan this may seem easy but most people don't know of most plant-based options available to them and how easily they can make a recipe vegan. So that's the purpose - to show that to them. What is also needed is user reviews and feedback on how the products work in different recipes, so that they can make the right choice.

If you already have a recipe in mind (eg: https://www.errenskitchen.com/homemade-dark-chocolate-puddin...) and want to veganize it, you can:
1. Install the chrome extension and visit the recipe website. This will show you the recommendations against each ingredient on the recipe site itself - In the ingredients section of the recipe, it will highlight the non-vegan ingredients. Or on click on the EatKind icon on the toolbar. See short video here: https://youtu.be/bAXdUqqlSvc
(OR)
2. Copy recipe URL and paste in the search box in eatkind.co - this will show you all the ingredients that aren't vegan, along with alternatives - https://eatkind.co/?q=https:%2F%2Fwww.errenskitchen.com%2Fho...
To veganize a dish (eg: "bangers and mash") - you can type in the dish name in the search box and get recommendations for recipes you can veganize. - https://eatkind.co/?q=bangers%20and%20mash

Absolutely! Also, people love to contribute to projects that help the planet and do good. Will seriously consider open sourcing our client libraries.

We do provide recommendations with more natural ingredients such as jackfruit, flax seeds, coconut oil, etc. But they are currently lost in the huge list of brand recommendations. Will bump those up.
Thank you for these suggestions! Very valuable.

Interesting view point. But by that logic - you shouldn't use contraceptives if you're against having babies. Or kill people on video games if you're against murder. It's not like vegans imagine killing animals while eating fake meat. They are just taking care of their taste buds. In fact nobody thinks of animals when they eat. If people did, more people would eat less meat. And that's why all meat should look exactly like the animals they come from. And not random shapes that they are made into.

Because people like the taste of meat and at the same time don't want to hurt animals. They also want to maybe cook the same kind of food but without animals. What's wrong in that?

You would also like jackfruit then!

This is very interesting. We have had similar requests for alternatives for gluten and other allergens.

I understand your concern. And will consider open sourcing the extension code. You can also use EatKind on https://eatkind.co

Interesting. Would love to include feedback from users into the recommendations based on recipe types.

Vegan replacements work slightly differently. I think tips on how to substitute from brands and chefs are what's important to build trust in using these alternatives in recipes. We are working on introducing chef tips, will also try including tips from brands themselves.
