Hannah’s Vegan Round Up: Veganuary recipes and more

Our Favourite Vegan Recipes

Harvest Tomato and Butternut Squash Dal

Our marketing director Emma swears by this Red Dal recipe from Half Baked Harvest. It’s hearty, warming and filled with vegetables with a kick of Indian spices and sweet pomegranate for serving. Check out the recipe here.

Emma’s Chickpea and Mushroom Mini Pies

Emma Harrel’s comforting pie recipe is meat & dairy free and packs a punch when it comes to flavour, with a kick of chilli and meaty miso mushrooms. Emma has also added other hearty vegetables such as kale and carrot for some extra nutrition and chickpeas to add a bite too. Check out the recipe on our blog here.

Aimee’s Healthy Vegan Carrot Cake

This vegan cake is from our friend and blog contributor, Aimee Ryan of Wallflower Kitchen. It’s free from refined sugar and uses all-natural ingredients right down to the decorations! Check it out here.
