Plant-based recipes, menus, cooking tips for vegans & vegetarians

Main Menu

Staple Recipes

I try to cook from scratch as much as possible, rather than relying on store-bought items like non-dairy milk and nut butters. Here are my staple recipes that you’ll find linked from more complicated dishes throughout The Veggie Table.

Also see cooking tips for advice on peeling tomatoes, cleaning leeks, soaking beans, and lots more!

Condiments & Dressings / Raw / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Vegan Butter

Store-bought margarine is full of chemicals and other weird ingredients. Try making your own vegan butter instead - it acts just like the real thing, and tastes similar.

Vegan Crêpe Batter

Make egg- and dairy-free crêpe batter, then serve up a gourmet feast!

Vegan Parmesan Sprinkles

This is a terrific vegan parmesan "cheese" made from nutritional yeast and toasted sesame seeds.

Vegan Pie Crust

This pie crust is made with oil, but is just as tender and flaky as a more traditional butter crust.

Vegan Ricotta Cheese

A creamy ricotta-style cheese made from cashews and tofu, perfect for rollatini, manicotti, and lasagna.

Vegetable Stock

Vegetable stock can be used to replace the meat stock or water in just about any recipe. It adds a hint of flavor and extra nutrition to soups, risotto, and more. This very basic recipe is really just a guideline - there is no right or wrong recipe for vegetable stock. You can add just about anything.

Yogurt Cheese

Whether traditional, Greek, or non-dairy, good yogurt makes good yogurt cheese - and it's one of the easiest recipes around.
