Banana Cake (The Veg Space)
There are quite a few ‘lists’ of the best vegan recipe blogs online, but many are out-of-date, and some also link to recipe blogs that mean you have to visit 10 different shops to find all the ingredients. Here’s a new fresh list of what we think are the best recipe blogs in the land. They are all plant-based, beautifully designed and focus on simple affordable recipes for the masses. See what you think, then bookmark your favourites!
Check medications before eating dark green leafy greens or grapefruit. Avoid nuts and other choking hazards (carrot sticks, grapes etc) for young children. Keep recipes away from pets, as many ‘human foods’ in recipes (not just chocolate but other foods including citrus, dried fruits, grapes, nuts, nutmeg, fresh dough and xylitol) are unsafe. Read more on keeping people & pets safe in the kitchen.
The Veg Space is a good blog by a woman classically trained at the Vegetarian Society’s cookery school. Her recipes are very simple and beautifully photographed, yet also detailed and tend to focus more on ‘British tastes’ though there are some international recipes too. So if you want to know how to make Bakewell tarts or a good plate of homemade mashed potatoes, you’ll love this site! And her book!
Short Girl, Tall Order is an American blog by a gifted chef and baker. The font is really easy-to-read and many of the recipes translate well to English/British tastes. Good recipes for things like dumplings and stews, and homemade cookies and cakes!
So Vegan is a wonderful blog by a couple who write best-selling cookbooks. Their recipes are usually very short on ingredients lists, and their latest book So Easy is brilliant! They offer many styles of cuisines, and make short work of veganising the most complicated meat and fish dishes!
Glow Diaries is an Aussie blog, packed with simple and inspiring recipes to try. The founder offers a free e-book to download ‘Cosy Eats for the Busy Girl’, and a free 5-day kickstart guide to healthy eating.
Rainbow Plant Life is a colourful and beautifully photographed blog, very detailed in its instructions for each recipe. With millions of fans, the founder is a former attorney who now writes recipes and cookbooks.
Rainbow Nourishments is a (mostly) dessert and cake blog by an Aussie baker, who offers lovely recipes that are very simple (usually not even requiring egg replacers, as she knows her baking science!)
Broke Bank Vegan is an American blog run by a husband-and-wife. It’s beautifully designed and laid out and has 100s of super recipes. The site is mainly focused on simple, budget-friendly recipes.
Addicted to Dates is a dessert blog, by a classically trained Irish baker. Her recipes are stunning and Christina can veganise practically anything! Check out her beautiful recipe book.
Full of Plants is one of the world’s most popular recipe blogs. Thomas is French and has learned to veganise everything from blue cheese to pate to foie gras. Now he’s married to a Vietnamese woman, later recipes tend to focus on Asian tastes, so there’s plenty for everyone. Beautiful photos!
