Vegan Harvest, Thanksgiving, and Autumn Recipes

This is our collection of Harvest, Thanksgiving, and Autumn recipes which is a recipe box filled with cosy meals, warm puddings, spiced cakes and crisp biscuits and cookies, that are perfect for sharing with family and loved ones. As the leaves change colour and the air turns cool, our kitchen becomes a haven of warm spices, hearty ingredients, bubbling thick stews, and the kind of comfort food that makes you want to snuggle up under a blanket to eat on the sofa!

From traditional dishes that grace the Thanksgiving table to harvest-time favourites that celebrate the bounty of autumn, these recipes are traditional favourites adapted with vegan everyday ingredients.

To get you started we highly recommend our Vegan 'chicken' Stew and dumplings and this hearty Vegan Chuckwagon Stew and our family favourite Vegan Cottage Pie. For Thanksgiving our Vegan Meatloaf is delicious classic enjoyed with roast potatoes, lots of vegetables and gravy.

For more warming and comforting vegetable stews recipes do check out our stews & casseroles recipe collection.
