What can I serve to vegan guests? ›

Make sure you're aware of any allergies ahead of time, so you can prepare dishes suitable for your guests' needs. Speak to your guests a few weeks before the event, and where possible create dishes that are suitable for all, so you avoid having to create different recipes for each person.

I highly recommend having a mixture of grains, protein, and vegetables — it provides a great balance not only with flavor/bulk but also texture. Grains and legumes help keep the meal filling while the vegetables bring everything together.

Also known as a vegan or strict vegetarian meal, this meal is completely free of animal products or by-products. It does not contain any meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey or other animal products or by-products.

Is pasta vegan? Most packaged pasta—including spaghetti, rotini, and any other type—is 100 percent vegan. To know for sure, simply check the ingredients on your package! Sometimes, you might see “egg” listed as an ingredient in “fresh” pastas, so avoid those—but generally, pasta contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Make it obvious. Don't separate your vegetarian and vegan choices in a different section, as that can make meat-eaters skip the section altogether. Instead, integrate them into the regular menu and make ordering meat-free dishes simple by labelling the vegetarian and vegan dishes on your menu.

base meals on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates (choose wholegrain where possible) have some fortified dairy alternatives, such as soya drinks and yoghurts (choose lower-fat and lower-sugar options) eat some beans, pulses and other proteins.

What do chefs think of vegans? ›

While many chefs agree that not only is it an important diet trend but also is the future when it comes to sustainable ingredient sourcing and preserving our planet's future. Calling it a trend might be fallacious because it is not a temporary diet but more a permanent change for people who adopt this way of life.

Wheat, buckwheat and rice noodles are all common and on their own present no dangers for a vegan as they are all plant-based. This can also be true for less-common noodles made with seaweed, acorn or mung bean. Egg noodles, on the other hand, clearly are not suitable for vegans as they combine their flour with egg.

Eat Sufficient Calories: One of the most common reasons new vegans struggle is because they inadvertently consume fewer calories than their body needs.

Starters: Dips, pita, nuts, and olives, or roasted bell peppers. Mains: A grain salad and soup combination or a pasta and salad; sometimes, herbed and lemony couscous with Moroccan spiced chickpeas and vegetables. If it's a small crowd of close friends, a hearty soup or chili and cornbread does the trick.

Vegan cheeses make a delicious appetiser at a party, especially paired with a nice vegan wine. Why not try some vegan cream cheese, crackers, vegan chutneys and other tasty snacks to create the ultimate vegan cheese board?

A vegan diet is based on plants (such as vegetables, grains, nuts and fruits) and foods made from plants. Vegans do not eat foods that come from animals, including dairy products and eggs.

Plant-based canapes like chickpea falafel or courgette fritters with beetroot sauces are great vegan appetizers to keep guests entertained between the ceremony and speeches.
