Karen says
Curious, Can these dishes be batch made and frozen?
I know there will be some that can’t.
Melanie McDonald says
All of my recipes have storage and freezing instructions included in their individual posts except for some older ones which I haven't got around to updating yet. If you come across any that don't include it, leave a comment and I'll get back to you about it but most should be fine!
Kerstin says
Mel I love all your recipes but now I have a problem. My husband died in October 2022! Now I am alone and have to cook for one. This is hard. Any advice
Melanie McDonald says
I'm so sorry to hear that Kerstin. I'm not sure if you know already, but if you hover over the serving size in my recipe cards it lets you change the number of servings with a little slider, then automatically changes all of the ingredient quantities. Obviously, with some recipes like cakes/bread, etc, this could become problematic with pan sizes and cook times needing to be changed, but for most simple dinner recipes like soups, salads, and pasta etc it works really well. You could reduce them by half, invest in some nice single-serving-size containers with lids, then eat one helping and refrigerate or freeze the rest for another day. Muffin recipes and no-bake type recipes also half really well and generally freeze well. I do try to include freezing and storing instructions in all of my recipes but if you ever find one without (some older ones might not have it included), don't hesitate to leave a comment or send me an email and I can let you know if it freezes well. The same if it's a recipe that you're not sure can be halved easily.
I hope that helps!
Susan says
I am also really sorry to hear about your husband. I live on my own, and I would tend to batch cook meals to eat another day or to freeze, as it doesn't really take any more time or energy to cook larger portions. I sometimes have a couple of dishes in the fridge so that I can alternate days eating them. As I'm retired, I have also started doing some food prep in the mornings so that it doesn't take too long or make so many dishes when dinner time comes around. Best wishes
George says
I just did a quick pass of these recipes and It made me angry because I don't know which to try first.
I'm going to be eating these for months before I can even decide which one I like the best. I've only been Vegan for about 6 months now. and these all look amazing.
Thank you
A Virtual Vegan says
Thank you George. I hope you enjoy testing them all out!
Maureen Cram says
Thanks so much for posting these recipes. I have posted the link on the leading vegan FB group page for anyone doing Veganuary. I also told our over 10k members that your blog is a great one to follow as all the recipes work and taste great :).
A Virtual Vegan says
Thats very kind Maureen. Thank you!
Kerstin says
Incredible, just in time for me . I am always looking for daily meals that are not boring but ever soooo good tasting. You are my daily go to. Happy , healthy 2020
A Virtual Vegan says
Happy New Year to you too Kerstin!
nicky says
SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THESE AMAZING RECIPES
THANK YOU
DO YOU HAVE A BOOK ONE CAN BUY ON KINDLE
NICKY
A Virtual Vegan says
Thank you Nicky. I have a book called Vegan Comfort Cooking that will be published on May 28th. It is available to pre-order now, but I'm not sure whether the Kindle version is yet. I won't post a link as they are different for each country and I don't know where you are, but if you search Vegan Comfort Cooking or Melanie McDonald on Amazon you should see it.
Loretta Kravig says
These recipes look great! Is there a possibility that you could put them into an ebook that could be downloaded all at once? I find going to each one separately to be a bit tiring. And I like to print them off do I can have a hard copy. It’s easier to read as I make the recipes.
A Virtual Vegan says
That's a really great idea but unfortunately I don't have the time to do it. I will bear it in mind for anything like this that isn't so time specific in the future though.
Punam's Indian recipe says
This is a very good collection of veg recipes, but am totally confused where to start from all the recipes seems delicious.
