vegan recipes using meat alternatives

This is where we have collected our vegan recipes that make use of meat alternatives. Meat alternatives are a great way to transition to a vegan, vegetarian or plant-based diet, or even just to reduce your meat consumption. Whether it's vegetable sausages, burgers, or vegan mince or crumbles, or meat-free chunks, these recipes make it easy to swap out meat in your favourite recipes.

As you get more comfortable in the kitchen, you may naturally move on to experimenting with beans, lentils, grains, nuts, or even mushrooms or ground up raw cauliflower and grated carrots as alternatives to meat replacements.

Do feel free to experiment with the following recipes and replace the meat-free alternative with anything you prefer. To start with we recommend this Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup and this creamy Beef-Less Stroganoff and this classic family favourite Vegan Sausage Pasta.
