Maybe give some free advice about: Cooking?
Avocado is a wonderful base, whether you will be eating it on it's own, with a salad topping, sliced tofu or vegan-cheese topping.
Humus (hummus) is available in many shops or if you have a good blender, very easy to make yourself. Blend one tin of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) with approx half a cup of extra virgin olive oil. You can also add garlic, lemon juice or cumin powder depending what you prefer. Great for any savory filling but if left plain a sweet filling can be added as well.
Eggplant (Brinjals) can be roasted in the oven for around half an hour. Scraped out and blended with onion, tomato or a little tomato paste, peppers or onion. Add a little virgin olive oil or lemon juice to get the right consistency.
Red Lentils can be cooked with your favorite spices like coriander, chili, cumin, ginger or curry powder then drained and blended.
Green Lentils can be cooked with thyme and yeast extract, drained and blended.
Tofu can be blended to make a spread with added fresh herbs, spring onion, gherkin, fresh spinach lightly steamed or raw.
Nut Butters can be made blending 2 cups raw nuts, like almonds or cashews, with a little extra virgin olive oil or any other cold pressed oil.
Hope these ideas help
