I think there's variants of vegan cooking throughout Buddhist monasteries in Asia. China may be one of the oldest traditions of it, though.
it depends on where you end up, the mediterranean or east asia and you might be okay going back a thousand years but unless you can digest grass you'd have a hard time on the steppes. also if you get conscripted or imprisoned your only choice might be to starve
Veganism means avoiding animal exploitation where possible and practical, so theoretically you could be vegan in any time period as long as you never ate more than the absolute minimum meat you needed to survive.
My mind went to other animal products like furs, leather, bones, and animal transport. Depends on where you live, I guess.
the main issue i can see would be cooking fat
back in ye olde times, lard was the cheapest, oil was for aristos and rich merchant types
assuming i'm transported back in time and not location of course, as things change availability depending on where you are
you'd think that would be obvious, but people seem to forget that things cost different amounts of money in different places
Bake some potatoes and wait for non-stick pots to be invented.

probably the late Cretaceous after flowering plants start to dominate and diversify
that's roughly 70+ Mya
