Forget Dry January [1], it's Veganuary that's the hottest trend for 2019. After the indulgence of the Christmas season (and naturally an excess of meat of cheese), a growing number of people are giving veganism [2] a go for the first month of the year. In fact, according to official Veganuary [3] figures, over 250,000 people in 193 countries have taken part since 2014.
Although vegan [4] options are certainly increasing in supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants, a solid selection of go-to recipes you can whip up at home is essential too. Stuck for ideas? We're here to help. Keep reading to see 15 strictly vegan recipes to try this January.
