It's that time of year again, where we wrap things up and take a look back at what recipes were most popular on A Virtual Vegan in 2020.

I’ve made it a bit of a tradition and if you want to, you can look back at the top 10 vegan recipes for 2016 and 2017 and 2018 and 2019 too.

What a year 2020 has been. I don't think it's one any of us will forget easily, but despite the many lows, AVV has seen more growth than I could have imagined and was named Best Vegan Food Blog of 2020 at the One Bite Vegan Food Blogger Awards. That made me so happy!

I'm really looking forward to seeing where 2021 takes me, but for now, it's time to sit back, grab a cozy drink, maybe a molasses cookie (I'm still officially obsessed), and cozy up with the recipes that were loved the most in 2020, in case you missed them the first time around!

Count down with me in reverse order to see which recipe claimed the Best Vegan Recipe of 2020 Number 1 spot!

Thank you very much for the excellent collection of great recipes. After chuckling at yesterday's collection of failures, this collection just shows how much work you put into these recipes.

Melanie,
Just a suggestion: instead of using turmeric for a yellowish color, much better is to use capsules of beta carotene. They come in soft gels that are filled with a bright orange/yellow liquid that does a wonderful job at coloring foods. Has no flavor, unlike the turmeric that might be easily detected. I've used it for mac 'n cheese and desserts and anything in between.
