main course

In this collection, you will find my best vegan main course recipes.

From weeknight dinners like my vegan mushroom stew, harissa chickpea bowls, and sweet potato cakes to quick and wholesome vegan meals like zucchini involtini and creamy avocado pesto pasta. Some of my personal favourites in this category include vegan mushroom meatballs, vegan buffalo cauliflower pizza, and sweet potato tacos.

For even more vegan main course recipes, The First Mess Cookbook has plenty of inspiration.
