Explore our vegan meal ideas and the kitchen kit to help you make them.
What is vegan?
Be in the know...
Vegans actively choose a lifestyle which avoids the exploitation of animals. Whether it’s for ethical, environmental, religious or health reasons, veganism is a popular choice.
What is a vegan diet?
It’s avoiding any animal derived ingredients and swapping them for plant-based options like whole grains, tofu, nuts, seeds, legumes and more, to create nutritious and appetising meals.
Vegan alternatives
Milk
Here you have a lot of choice. Pick between almond, cashew, coconut or hazelnut, depending on what your baking and the flavour you want to achieve.
Eggs
Chia and flax seeds are a great substitute. Once combined with water and a little baking soda, the fats, moisture and fibre in these seeds help mimic an egg.
Cheese
Supermarkets have a great vegan range, you just need to match the right cheese to your dish. For example, MozzaRisella will give you that creamy, stringy cheese ideal for pizza.
Butter
Look for oil-based butters such as sunflower, olive or vegetable. There are also nut flavoured butters which are delicious but will alter the flavour of your meal.
