holidays

Looking for vegan recipes for celebrating and feasting over the holidays?

This recipe collection has you covered, with recipes like this crowd-pleasing caramelized onion dip with za’atar, this comforting sweet potato casserole, and a naturally gluten-free butternut galette with apples. For dessert, I’ve got a decadent vegan chocolate orange cheesecake and more!

If you are looking for even more holiday-appropriate entertaining recipes, The First Mess Cookbook has plenty of inspiration.
