Eggplant Parmesan Ⓥ
A saucy and very flavorful vegan eggplant parmesan.
Main Courses
A common complaint about vegetarian cuisine is that there are “no main courses, just side dishes.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. Aside from the fact that probably 90% of recipes can be made vegetarian by leaving out or substituting for whatever meat they contain, there are a number of traditional recipes that do not include meat.
(Linguistic note: In American English, “entree” refers to a main course, but in French, “entrée” means “appetizer” or “starter.”)
Eggplant Parmigiana Ⓥ
Years ago, during a cooking class in Tuscany, we made the simplest and most delicious eggplant parmigiana I've ever had. Grilling the eggplant adds extra flavor that is highlighted rather than drowned out by fresh tomato sauce, mozz, and a bit of basil.
Eggplant Tomato Pasta Bake Ⓥ
A more interesting (and vegan) version of the mostaccioli I remember from my grade school cafeteria.
Eggplant Zucchini Gratin
Layers of eggplant and zucchini with tomato sauce and custard make a delightful first or main course.

Fajitas Ⓥ
Everyone seems to love "build it yourself" meals, and fajitas are a delicous way to do this. Hot fillings and cold toppings are served with tortillas so that you can mix and match your own fajitas.

Falafel Ⓥ
Falafel are crunchy chickpea nuggets from Lebanon that can be baked or fried.
French Onion Pie Ⓥ
Caramelized onions and tofu make a savory vegan pie.
Fried Tempeh Ⓥ
Tempeh, a cake of fermented soybeans, is much tastier than it sounds. This is my favorite way to eat it.
Fried Tofu Ⓥ
Fried tofu is easy to make and has a nice chewy/crunchy texture.
Gallo Pinto Ⓥ
Gallo pinto, literally "spotted rooster," is ubiquitous in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. It refers to black beans and rice cooked together, and is served at every meal, surrounded by various side dishes. It's easy to make and very healthy.
