Featured Vegan Recipes
Turnip Curry (Shalgam)
The sliced turnips in this dish have a very delicate mouthfeel. The flavor profile is warm and nutty, great for autumn and winter.
Vegan Orange “Chicken” with Crispy Tofu
Orange chicken is a classic American-Chinese comfort food. This recipe will show you how to make that same delicious orange glaze over a vegan protein.
Dal Kachori (Savory Lentil Dumplings)
Biting into these dumplings releases a warm, savory flavor that will stick in your memory. A perfect side dish to serve to guests when you’re feeling a little fancy! This recipe is based on one in the excellent cookbook, Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen.
Cilantro Lime Rice
Cooking your rice in a bit of lime juice lifts the flavor and makes it a perfect side for a Mexican meal.
Pine Nut Vegan Crema
Pine nut crema is from Terry Hope Romano’s excellent book, Viva Vegan! This aromatic sauce is just the thing to soothe your tongue when paired with a spicy dish.
Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake
The star of this recipe is the cheesecake batter. Only four ingredients, but it has a bitter-sweet, rich flavor that makes you pause while eating to enjoy it. The texture is also excellent. It is stiff enough to hold bubbles and resemble a creamy cheesecake, but without all that animal fat! If you’re not in the mood to make a crust, pouring this batter into tiny dessert cups with some berries on top wouldn’t go amiss.
Vegan Kimbap (김밥)
Kimbap is a Korean recipe inspired by Japanese sushi. Like sushi, you can stuff kimbap with a great many things. Korean chefs tend to favor pickled and preserved fillings. Unlike sushi, which traditionally uses only white rice, kimbap can use either brown or white rice. Treat the rice with sesame oil and a sweetener for its signature Korean taste.
Neeps and Tatties
Neeps and tatties are a classic Scottish side-dish. Neeps, also called swedes or rutabegas, are a wonderfully buttery tuber with an interesting orange color. Tatties are simply potatoes!
