Simple & delicious plant-based dishes

In the vegan kitchen you will find simple recipes made with grains such as barley, spelt, quinoa, amaranth or millet. There are also legumes, which are a great source of plant-based protein. This includes lentils, beans of all kinds (such as butter beans, black beans, green beans, kidney beans and of course my favorite, chickpeas). You’ll also find vegan based protein sources such as tofu. And of course, on a vegan table you will aslo find a lot of pasta and rice dishes, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.

Easy flavorful vegan meals

Eating vegan doesn’t have to mean boring, bland or complicated. On the contrary! For me, vegan cooking means creating vibrant meals flavoured with spices and fresh herbs, using high-quality ingredients that feature whole, plant-based foods and fresh seasonal produce.

On Elle Republic you will discover delicious plant-​based recipes including breakfast ideas, lunch and dinner recipes to vegan baked goods and desserts. Oh, and of course you will also find easy vegan snack and appetizer ideas!

Vegan cooking and baking made easy

In addition to excluding meat and fish, a vegan diet excludes all other animal products. This means all recipes are made without dairy products, eggs or honey. Honey is replaced with maple, date or agave syrup. For vegan baking recipes eggs are replaced with either chia seeds, linseeds, psyllium husk, apple sauce, mashed banana or even mashed winter squash. Dairy is easily replaced with plant-based products, such as unsweetened soy milk, almond milk, and coconut or tofu products.

Many of my vegetarian recipes can be easily adapted for a vegan diet. Be sure to check out my vegetarian recipe archive for more inspiration!

Variety of Vegan Cuisine

Vegan cuisine offers an impressive variety of recipes that add diversity to your plate. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner – there are delicious vegan alternatives for every meal.

  • Breakfast Ideas: Smoothie bowls, avocado toast, or vegan pancakes – perfect for an energetic start to the day.
  • Lunch: Colorful Buddha bowls, tasty veggie burgers, or quinoa salads – healthy and filling options for your lunch break.
  • Dinner: Creamy curries, hearty stews, or pasta with plant-based sauces – ideal for a cozy dinner.

Snacks and Desserts

There are also great vegan recipes for a quick bite or a sweet finish:

  • Snacks: Hummus with vegetable sticks, roasted chickpeas, or homemade granola bars – perfect for on the go or in between meals.
  • Desserts: Vegan brownies, chia pudding, or coconut yogurt with fresh fruit – delicious and entirely without animal products.

Tips for Preparation

Vegan recipes are not only healthy and delicious but also easy to prepare:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Ensure you use fresh and high-quality ingredients to enjoy the full flavor.
  • Spices and Herbs: Experiment with different spices and herbs to give your dishes that special touch.
  • Plant-Based Alternatives: Use plant-based alternatives to milk, cheese, and meat to enjoy your favorite dishes vegan-style.
