vegan Italian recipes

This is our collection of vegan Italian inspired recipes that appreciate the  'Cucina Povera,'  home cooking that has sustained Italians for centuries. 'Cucina Povera' translates to 'poor kitchen,' but don't be fooled by its modest name as this style of cooking is fun, as well as rich in flavour and history.

While our vegan recipes aren't authentic, they're inspired by the simplicity, sustaining, and humble flavours of Italian home cooking. We love budget-friendly, family favourite meals that are prepared with Italian ingredients and flavours. We highly recommend our warming frugal minestrone soup and this easy, quick and humble garlic spaghetti.
