Whole-food Vegan Recipes

This section is dedicated to helping people figure out cheap, easy and tasty recipes - and also some more complex recipes for people wanting to try them out.

A lot of recipes found online that claim to be cheap, easy and tasty often turn out to be the opposite, besides the tasty part. On top of that, they're usually quite unsatiating.

These recipes are all going to be whole-foods based, as it's healthier and optimal.

You are not required to be whole-foods based to be vegan, but the more you're whole-foods based, the healthier the food will be.

Common ingredients/cooking methods that aren't whole foods that will be replaced are the following:

No oil - there's no direct replacement, except for recipes where tahini or peanut butter works/are needed.

No sugar - replaced by date sugar, which is simply whole ground dates and not actual sugar, although it's often quite expensive. Replaced by fruits where applicable, or sugar-rich foods like carrots, sweet potatoes and sweet onions.

No salt (or minimal) - replaced by miso paste or soy sauce (or other fermented foods where applicable). If you lack both of these, a controlled and not excessive amount of salt should be fine.

No alcohol - this simply isn't needed.

No frying - replaced by steaming or baking.

No refined grains - replaced by whole grains (like pasta, replaced by whole wheat pasta).

No juice - replaced by the whole fruit blended. This isn't extremely important. If you don't have a blender, juice - like lemon juice instead of blended lemon - will do.
