Delicious Family Tested Vegetarian (Mostly Vegan) Recipes For Healthy Happy Eating on a Vegetarian Diet

Most Savvy Vegetarian recipes are vegan, or adaptable to vegan, because:

• Even though dairy is vegetarian, we take the Ayurvedic view that milk and vegetables don't mix, and that cooked cheese is indigestible.
• Many of our visitors are lactose intolerant vegetarians, or vegans who don't eat dairy products.
• Vegan recipes are lighter and more digestible, and challenge us to eat a more varied diet, for optimum vegetarian nutrition.
• If you're an ovo-lacto or lacto-vegetarian, most of the vegan recipes go well with cheese, yogurt or egg, added or on the side.

All of the recipes on Savvy Vegetarian have been tested by us. Or, they come from reliable sources and we can trust that they have been tested. We try to give clear, complete recipe directions. SV recipes should work under most conditions, for most cooks. If you have any questions or comments about any recipe, we'd like to hear from you!

SV recipes are cross indexed and linked, so it's easy to find specific recipes, or to browse the whole section. New vegetarian recipes are posted on the home page and most other pages on the site.

Basic Vegetarian Recipes

For new vegetarians, novice cooks, or new to vegetarian cooking:
Each basic vegetarian recipe has detailed cooking instructions, serving and menu suggestions, and a list of related recipes. Vegetarian cooking isn't hard, and one of the best kept secrets about vegetarian food, is that it tastes fantastic!

Vegetarian Bean Recipes

Beans are nutrition powerhouses, a worldwide dietary staple, found in a multitude of vegetarian recipes. To know them is to love them.

Beverages for Veggies

Not everything that's mostly water is fit to drink. This section is devoted to healthy beverages.

Breads

Includes muffins, scones, quick breads, flat breads and yeasted breads.

Desserts

A piece of sweet fruit is a healthy dessert. Everything else is an oxymoron. Sometimes, only a sugar and fat laden treat will do.

Grains

We need a variety of whole grains and refined grains, as the basis of a balanced vegetarian diet. These recipes will help you to expand your nutritional horizons.

Pasta

Pasta has a unique nature, which requires sauces, cheeses, and other additions to be complete. It also is great for 'bulking up' soups and stews, or starring in salads. Pasta pasta pasta!

Salads

Salads may be raw or cooked; a full meal, or an appetizer; calorie laden or spare; green, yellow, red or white; crunchy or creamy - we can't live without 'em.

Slow Cooker Recipes

The best thing about slow cookers and crockpots, is that you can leave the house and come back to a cooked meal a few hours later. The other best thing is that there aren't many recipes you can't make in a crock pot or slow cooker, as long as they have some liquid, or can be steamed. If your cooker is big enough, you can insert a closed container and steam it, or immerse in water.

Soups

Once you have the basic methods down, soups and stews are more fun and creative to make than any other foods, and the most soul-satisfying to eat.

Tofu

Tofu is one of the best protein sources on the planet, and the best way to eat soy, but some ways of cooking tofu are better than others. Tofu is a wonderful food in it's own right, and shouldn't be viewed as a meat replacement.

Vegetables

Vegetarians eat veggies, right? Here are quick easy ways to cook tasty, attractive, nourishing veggies.

"From earth sprang herbs, from herbs food, from food seed, from seed man. Man thus consists of the essence of food…From food are all creatures produced, by food do they grow…The self consists of food, of breath, of mind, of understanding, of bliss."
The Upanishad
