Vegetarian and Vegan

Whether you're a committed vegetarian, occasional meat-reducer, or simply looking to incorporate more plants into your meals, these recipes celebrate the incredible variety and satisfaction plant-based cooking can offer. I've focused on creating dishes that feel complete and nourishing in their own right, rather than pale imitations of meat-based classics (though you will find some clever plant-based versions of familiar favorites too!). Many recipes highlight seasonal vegetables at their peak, allowing their natural flavors to shine with thoughtful preparation and complementary seasonings. You'll find quick weeknight options that come together in under 30 minutes, make-ahead meals perfect for busy weeks, and more elaborate creations worthy of special occasions. While some dishes embrace specialized plant-based ingredients, many rely on everyday items you probably already have in your pantry. I've included both strict vegan recipes and vegetarian options that incorporate eggs and dairy, with notes on adaptations for different dietary preferences. These recipes prove that plant-based eating can be vibrant, satisfying, and accessible - whether you're cooking for committed vegetarians or simply serving Meatless Monday dinner to a table of omnivores.
