Vegan Recipe Thread

I am not vegan, but I am trying to eat as vegan as possible. Anyone have any good vegan recipes or ideas? I am not looking for just recipes with substitutes, but also ones that are normally meat and dairy-free. We can start our own thread.

Re: Vegan Recipe Thread

I've found one! And it tastes great - my DH loves it.

Blackberry Cobbler (you can use blueberries, too)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1 cup sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup soy milk (rice or almond will work too)
1/2 cup vegan spread/butter, melted
2 cups frozen blackberries or blueberries (the bags at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are enough)

In bowl, wisk together sugar, flour and milk until just blended.
Wisk in melted butter. In a 12x8 pan lightly coated in vegan spread or spray.
Spread berries on top.
Cover the top with a large dash of regular or brown sugar.
Bake for one hour or until it's brown and bubbling. You can serve it with soy vanilla ice cream or eat it without - tastes best when hot.

Re: Vegan Recipe Thread

There are some really great recipes on www.vegweb.com

We cook a lot of indian & thai at home, so that's usually vegan.

Plus, for any baking I do I just replace the eggs with 'egg replacer' and the milk with rice, almond or soy milk. Butter gets replaced with vegan margarine or oil.

Re: Vegan Recipe Thread

My favorite vegan recipe of all time. I am going to make it this week. The measurements obviously need to be cut down (it was made by my college, and I emailed them after graduation for the recipe). It isn't the most healthy recipe (deep fry!), but I would go back to college in Maine just to eat it (they make it better than I can - haha)
