Savvy Vegetarian Recipes:

Basic Recipes

Vegetarian Cooking Is Easy and Fun: (And tastes fantastic!) Our basic (mostly vegan) vegetarian recipes have detailed cooking instructions, serving and menu suggestions, and a list of related recipes.

Bean Recipes

Beans are nutrition powerhouses, a worldwide dietary staple, found in a multitude of vegetarian and vegan recipes. To know them is to love them - especially if you know how to cook and eat beans without gas.

Beverages for Veggies

Not everything that's mostly water is fit to drink. This section is devoted to healthy vegetarian beverages.

Breads

Includes muffins, scones, quick breads, flat breads and yeasted breads.

Desserts - Mostly Vegan

The Sweet Truth: A piece of fruit is a healthy dessert, and everything else is an oxymoron. Sometimes, only a sugar and fat laden treat will do! Our dessert recipes mainly aim for somewhere in the middle.

Grains

We need a variety of whole grains and refined grains, as the basis of a balanced vegetarian or vegan diet. These recipes will help you to expand your nutritional horizons.

Holiday Recipes

Our vegetarian and vegan holiday recipes - easy, scrumptious, nutritious, not too fattening - will satisfy your desire for the traditional American flavors of Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.

Pasta Pasta Pasta!

Pasta has a unique nature, which requires sauces, cheeses, and other additions to be complete. It also is great for 'bulking up' soups and stews, or starring in salads.

Quinoa (keenwah)

With a nutty flavor and pleasing texture similar to rice, quinoa is a complete source of vegetarian protein, full of vitamins and minerals - iron, magnesium, Vit E, potassium, amino acids - and fiber.

Salads

Salads may be raw or cooked; a full meal, or an appetizer; calorie laden or spare; green, yellow, red or white; crunchy or creamy - we can't live without 'em.

Sauces, Dips & Spreads

Many thanks are due to the 'extras' - sauces, dips and spreads. They're so quick and easy to make, there's no reason why you can't start enjoying gourmet veggie food right now!

Slow Cooker Recipes - All Vegan

With a slow cooker or crockpots, you can leave the house and come back to a cooked meal a few hours later. There aren't many recipes you can't make in a crock pot or slow cooker, as long as they have some liquid, or can be steamed.

Soups

Once you have the basic methods down, soups and stews are more fun and creative to make than any other foods, and the most soul-satisfying to eat.

Tofu

Tofu is one of the best protein sources on the planet, and the best way to eat soy, but some ways of cooking tofu are better than others. Tofu is a wonderful food in it's own right, and shouldn't be viewed as a meat replacement.

Vegetables

Vegetarians eat veggies, right? Savvy Veg has lots of easy ways to cook tasty, attractive, nourishing vegetables.
