VEGETARIANS or vegans, can you share your recipes?
I'm currently a vegetarian and seem to survive on quorn, salads and soups...
Can you provide some? or any products/food brands that you use?

I'm veggie too
![]() I don't have any recipes, but I really like some of the veggie food in tesco, they're made by tivali too. I get these really nice fake chicken and mushroom pies, kievs, frankfurter sausages, then theres soya mince which you can use in stews and spaghetti bolognese. We also get the fake chicken pieces and make a curry with them ![]() Ooh and if you go to a healthshop and they have a fridge look in there for a veggie pate, the one I love is in a sausage shape,lol. It's really nice though

I make those falafel burgers a lot. Once they're made, I pop them in the freezer and take out when I want them and, rather than having them in pitta, I make cous cous and have them for lunch at work. Yum!

Some advice OP
![]() I have been a vegetarian for well over 20 years. Best advice I can give you (in addition to the great resources that people have already provided) is to try and change your mindset of what you used to eat, or what people generally eat in the West. I don't mean meat, but I mean the pattern of what's on your plate. i.e. meat + something. Don't simply look to replace that "meat". That'll lead you to be inprisioned by meat substitues that may be ok occasionally, but you can't live off them forever. So, think outside the box, or rather, outside our borders. Much Italian food is naturally vegetarian/vegan, or can so easily be adapted. So is Indian. Again, look into the millions of dishes that vary in these countries, from region to region, then you can also make those recipes your own and change them if you like. I just mean, Italian food is far from just pizza and pasta. Equally, real Indian is far from what UK takeaways provide.Then look at Turkish dishes, the Middle East, Lebanon, Israel to name just a few. Now, not "just" the recipes, but the way they eat, the arrangement of food in their plate. This will give you ideas and mentally break you free from "meat and two veg". And remember, there is no such thing as 'vegeterian food'. You just don't eat meat. An old co-worker of mine used to hate "vegetarian food" which always confused me, especially as her favourite thing in the world was jacket potato and baked beans. She was probably referring to meat substitutes, but as I said at the beginning, that is not what "vegetarians" eat. They are just meat substitutes.Best of luck.

^ I agree with this! Going vegan has completely changed what kinds of foods I eat, I rarely have the whole meat + potatoes + veg set up anymore.
I recommend getting a vegetarian student cookbook. It doesn't matter if you're a student or not, they're good because they're easy, cheap and a good way to introduce you to some basic veggie recipes. I use this one. I've been vegan nearly 3 years now and I still use this book pretty regularly. They're great recipes that you can adapt and make changes to when you're feeling more confident about veggie cooking. Some more of my favourite books are: La Dolce Vegan - Sarah Kramer's books are great, but this is my favourite one of hers. She does a lot of 'quick' vegan recipes that are delicious, cheap and easy to make. Vegan with a Vengeance - Most of the recipes in here are quite complicated and pricey, but if you want to impress they all taste amazing! Please Don't Feed the Bears - Great little book that has a lot of American type recipes in, like burritos and sloppy joes. It's not set out like a traditional cookbook, it looks more like a diary of recipes thrown together but it does have great recipes in! I can only really offer recommendations on vegan cookbooks as I only have a few veggie cookbooks and apart from the student one they all appear to be the same kind of things. I find the vegan ones more 'out there' but maybe I've been buying the wrong vegetarian ones >_< I run my own blog at hastalavegan.com. There's a fair amount of recipes up there so feel free to have a look. You'll probably notice it's not been updated for a while, but I'm hoping to post some more stuff when all my uni work is done. Other favourite blogs I follow are: Vegan Dad and fat free vegan. You can google these to find them. |
