The vegan lifestyle is one of the fastest growing trends<\/a> around. In fact, ‘trend’ is not even the right term to describe it, since that would mean that it’s something that isn’t\u00a0 going to stick around and that is definitely not the case \u2013 plant-based diets are here to stay.<\/p>\n

Dragon Carrot Crackers with Tomato Tartare<\/b><\/h4>\n

These crackers are super easy to make and so much better than store-bought. Top them with a zingy and fresh tomato tartare as a great little bite-sized snack. The crackers are super versatile and will work with other tasty toppings like hummus or baba ghanoush.<\/p>\n

Cauliflower Latkes topped with Vegan Tzatziki and Dill Marinated Baby Marrow Ribbons<\/b><\/h4>\n

This pretty vegan canap\u00e9 is a great low carb version of a regular latke. Make them small and bite-sized for a tasty mouthful. The dill marinated baby marrow adds great depth of flavour and once you master that vegan tzatziki you’ll be putting it on everything!<\/p>\n

Vegan Brinjal Biltong<\/b><\/h4>\n

We love this idea for a vegan version of biltong using brinjal instead of meat. The spice combo used is similar to what would be used to cure biltong giving it that signature flavour. Not only is this a great snack for a party, it’s also great for when you’re on the go or even sitting at your desk!<\/p>\n

Harvest Table \u2013 Vegan Recipes for Entertaining<\/h3>\n

Vegan Courgette Frittata<\/h4>\n

\"vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

A frittata is one of those endlessly versatile dishes that can work for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s not only easy to make but it’s filling for a crowd and looks beautiful served right out of the oven in the pan it is cooked in. This one uses courgettes but you can add any veggies that you like to change the flavour. A solid recipe that you’ll make over and over.<\/p>\n

Roasted Carrots with Carrot Granola and Carrot Pur\u00e9e<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

If anything says harvest table it’s this beautiful carrot dish. Simple looking but so packed with flavour. Oven roasted baby carrots are full of sweetness and are just divine served atop carrot pur\u00e9e. The addition of a carrot granola brings crunch to the dish and makes it a surefire win.<\/p>\n

Cauliflower Steaks with Cashew Cheese Sauce<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

If you thought your mom’s cauliflower cheese was good, then this one will definitely blow your socks off. Cauliflower is perfect for slicing into thickish steaks which will caramelise beautifully in a pan. Top with this cashew cheese sauce and a sprinkling of vegan ‘Parmesan’ cheese and trust us you won’t even notice there’s no dairy. So yum!<\/p>\n

Mushroom Kebabs with Flatbreads and Cashew Aioli<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"Vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

There are few veggies that have quite the same umami flavour as mushrooms, they really are the veggie that keeps on giving. Versatile, easy to work with and so yum. In this recipe, mixed mushrooms are skewered, basted and grilled to perfection and served with a side of flatbreads and a delicious cashew aioli. The addition of pickled mushrooms adds a hit of vinegar that perfectly balances the dish. Even better if you can grill on the braai!<\/p>\n

Vegan<\/strong>\u00a0Grain and Pulse Salad<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

Grains and pulses are great for texture as well as for a good hit of protein. This salad is a one bowl wonder – once your grains and pulses are cooked, throw everything together in a bowl with the dressing ingredients as well and mix. It’s a tasty dish that works as a main meal or as a side and is even better the next day.<\/p>\n

Burnt Butternut Mash<\/b><\/h4>\n

When you have the word burnt in a recipe title it can sound off-putting but that is definitely not the case here. The idea is to take the butternut as far as possible in term of caramelising, as that’s where the amazing flavour comes from. So good, it’s almost like dessert!<\/p>\n

Charred Broccoli and Baby Gem Salad<\/b><\/h4>\n

A good harvest table needs greens and that’s where this salad shines. You’ll need to roast garlic to form the dressing but the rich, toasty flavours are worth it. This salad is best if the greens get good char on them,\u00a0so use a griddle pan if you can.<\/p>\n

Dessert<\/h3>\n

Vegan Passion Fruit & Coconut Tart, Vanilla Coconut Sorbet with Mango & Mint Salad<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

The title may sound daunting but don’t let that put you off. This tart is actually quite easy to make and marries fresh tropical flavours. If you don’t have an ice cream churner to make the sorbet, you can try this no-churn vegan ice cream<\/a>, which will work perfectly. A fine way to end an amazing meal.<\/p>\n
