autumn

In this collection, you will find all of my best vegan recipes for autumn.

There are plenty of fall dinners to greet the season, like stuffed spaghetti squash with garlicky arugula cream, this butternut orzo with Brussels sprouts, or my smoky cabbage, chickpea & lentil stew. Classic favourites like my vegan pumpkin bread and warming beverages like this golden serene latte are also in the mix.

If you are looking for even more seasonal vegan recipes, The First Mess Cookbook has plenty of inspiration.
