Make Veganuary easy with this collection of 31 super tasty vegan dinner recipes. One for every single day of the month!
WHAT IS VEGANUARY?
Veganuary is a yearly campaign which supports people through a month of eating vegan food in January, and based on it’s growth over the past few years, it is expecting 300,000 people to sign up in 2019!
Here are the figures from the past few years:
If you have found your way here, then chances are you might be one of those people. Congratulations and thank you for taking the pledge! By doing this you are helping to reduce the suffering of billions of animals, you are helping our planet, and you will discover new and exciting foods and recipes. You will probably find that you will feel better as a result of it too.
If you haven’t taken the Veganuary pledge yet but are curious to see what being vegan is all about, you can find a vegan starter kit on Veganuary’s website here, and plenty of super delicious recipes to get you started below, plus more in my recipe index here.
THE BENEFITS OF A VEGAN DIET
- A plant-based diet can be an incredibly healthy way to live. It has been shown to reduce your risk of contracting heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even some types of cancer. Many people also feel better in themselves too with higher energy levels and improved mood.
- A plant-based diet is more sustainable.
- One third of all the world’s grain is fed to farm animals. That grain could instead be used to feed billions of people.
- Cattle grazing is to blame for a lot of deforestation. Almost 80% of Amazon rainforests are currently used for grazing cattle. By limiting the meat and dairy we eat, we could help reduce deforestation.
- By reducing our meat and dairy intake we could cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50%.
- Eating less meat could see the world’s water consumption reduce drastically. It takes approximately 2000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. It is thought that by eating plant-based food for one year, an individual can save up to 150,000 gallons of water.
- A plant-based diet could stop our oceans from being decimated. Scientists estimate that fish populations could completely collapse by 2050 if our current rate of fishing continues.
- Lastly, plant-based food is amazing! It’s fresh, vibrant and delicious. Arm yourself with a bunch of great recipes and you won’t look back!

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.

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.

This is a very good collection of veg recipes, but am totally confused where to start from all the recipes seems delicious.
