In the last posts, I covered the challenges vegans face eating out for breakfast. I created this set of posts to show that vegan breakfasts can be just varied and delicious as those loaded with dairy and eggs. The first 16 breakfast ideas included simple recipes for easy on the go breakfasts, and also ideasContinue reading “21 Vegan Breakfasts (3) – Asian Breakfasts”

21 Vegan Breakfasts (2) – Cooked Breakfasts
Continuing this series on vegan breakfasts, I hope to show just how easy it is to have a tasty and satisfying breakfast on a vegan or plant-based diet. The first post looked at the conundrum of breakfast menu’s loaded with eggs and pastries. I find breakfast easy to make at home, but almost the mostContinue reading “21 Vegan Breakfasts (2) – Cooked Breakfasts”
21 Vegan Breakfasts (1) – Simple Breakfasts
I often get asked what vegans eat for breakfast. It seems to be the meal that everyone struggles with the most on the journey to being egg and dairy free. There are many very easy, and very tasty, options for a vegan breakfast, most of which are super simple to make at home. However whenContinue reading “21 Vegan Breakfasts (1) – Simple Breakfasts”
Lunch Ideas: Rich and Filling Soups
Browsing through vegan facebook pages it is not uncommon to see questions like “what are some good lunch ideas?”. I guess for anyone whose usual options would have been a ham or cheese sandwich, the vegan alternative isn’t so very obvious. Some of you may live in countries with more vegan options in the stores,Continue reading “Lunch Ideas: Rich and Filling Soups”
3 Simple Indian Vegetable Side-Dishes
I have posted a few recipes for rich and creamy Indian dishes recently (See my posts on Malai Kofta, Palak Paneer and Creamy Dhal’s). These centre-piece dishes are really delicious and more-ish, but sometimes I am just looking for a simple, down-to-earth, home-style vegetable to accompany a dhal or one of those richer dishes. TheContinue reading “3 Simple Indian Vegetable Side-Dishes”
Vegan Malai Kofta
Malai Kofta is one of those indulgent North Indian Mughal dishes that always seems like it would take too long and be too complicated to cook at home. How wrong could I be! The traditional version is vegetarian, with the kofta’s (rissoles) made from paneer and potato, cooked in a rich creamy tomato sauce (malaiContinue reading “Vegan Malai Kofta”
Vegan Palak Paneer
Indian dishes are so well suited to vegetarian and vegan cooking. One of my favourite things about visiting India is the food, it is an endless adventure of deliciousness. Traditional Indian vegetarian cuisine includes diary, but excludes eggs. There are some great dishes that are based on paneer, Indian cottage cheese, and saag paneer isContinue reading “Vegan Palak Paneer”
2 Rich and Creamy Dhal’s
Feel like treating yourself to something simple, healthy but really delicious? These dhal’s are a vegan version of the rich and creamy dhal’s often served in Indian restaurants. The most common is Dhal Makhani, but I also like slightly simpler and less spiced version called Khud Pukht Quershi. In Khud Puhkt Quershi the main spicesContinue reading “2 Rich and Creamy Dhal’s”
Vegan Quiche
This is surprisingly easy to veganise for a dish that is usually very egg-y! If you are lucky enough to live somewhere where you can buy vegan pre-made pastry then this is really easy to make. The pastry is a standard shortcrust pastry, but instead of butter use a vegan butter, margarine or a solidContinue reading “Vegan Quiche”
Vegan Tempeh Loaf
OK, I’ll confess, I made this one up last night. I had some stuff in the fridge and threw it together, but it came out really tasty, so I thought I’d share it. I’m sure its inspired by many recipe’s I’ve read over the years. The basic cooking method is very similar to the ClassicContinue reading “Vegan Tempeh Loaf”
