Basic Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes

Simple Vegetarian Recipes For Quick, Easy Vegetarian, Vegan Cooking

Here are basic vegetarian and vegan recipes for simple foods that can be used and combined in many ways - beans, grains, cereals, pasta, vegetables, tofu. Once you have the basic vegetarian cooking methods down, then more complex dishes are easy, because they're just a collection of simple recipes. At the end of each basic recipe, we list other recipes to try, once you know the basics.

Take rice, for example: If you have a recipe that begins with '2 cups cooked rice', instead of saying, "Forget it, I can't cook rice!" you'll know what to do. Or if you just want a simple basic vegetarian meal fast, you can make a pot of rice, add veg sausage and frozen peas - and you have supper, in 20 minutes!

If you can't use a chef's knife, don't own one, not sure what it is, and it takes all day to chop veggies, we'll show you how to prep veggies like a pro (with a little practice) and keep all your fingers: How To Use A Chef's Knife

If you have questions about any of these basic recipes, please contact us, and we'll respond asap.


"I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other." - Henry David Thoreau, Walden Pond, 1854
