The vegetarian said that she usually looks up recipes that she knows already. She has been vegetarian for a long time, so she is used to finding vegetarian options and does not find it arduous to cook for herself. Usually she Googles a recipe and will use one of the top results, especially if it is from a website that she frequents. Sometimes she cooks meals that happen to be vegan. Occasionally, she will cook a meal that is vegan on purpose, but she only does this if the substitution is simple (e.g. soymilk instead of milk). She finds it easy to find vegetarian recipes without having to go to vegetarian-specific sites or blogs.
The person who often cooks for a vegan friend stated that she figures out what to cook by asking her friends or looking things recipes on the internet, using Google. She will also often just take a recipe she knows and replace certain problematic ingredients with vegan substitutes. When trying to find vegan substitutes, she usually uses the internet or asks her vegan friend what to use and, if brand specific, where to buy it. She finds it occasionally difficult to find variety in things to cook and to figure out exactly what vegan substitutes she should use. She also said that a way to find recipes, vegan or not, by inputing the ingredients she had would be pretty nice to have.
