Thousands of people around the world are turning away from meat and choosing to diet exclusively on foods that come from plants. In many ways this is a good thing?after all, the primates group to which we belong is essentially herbivorous, and meat tends to be have a lower health value, being high in fat and cholesterol. Below is a selection of some of the most creative recipes for a vegan diet. I have made it a point to include as wide a variety of recipes as possible?meatless, vegetable, drinks, desserts. All were taken from one of two sites?VegWeb and 101 Cookbooks. The former is ?the world?s largest collection of vegetarian recipes.? You can become a free member and add your own recipes to that site.

Unless the tofu that you use is of the low-fat kind, there will be no way to tell that it is in the recipe at all! Other ingredients?besides the pureed pumpkin and sugar and the vegan pie crust?include a blend of spices (cinnamon and ginger, and optionally allspice and nutmeg). Nondairy topping completes the recipe.

Creamy quick mashed potatoes This recipe, which is perfect for Thanksgiving, also includes cashews made creamy by immersion in salt water. The resulting mixture is then combined with the boiled potatoes and seasoning (basil, oregano, parsley and sage) in a food processor.

The ?beef? in this recipe is, of course, a vegan substitute. It should be moist; if it has dried out, rehydrate it before proceeding. Marinate the beef in a sauce made from light and dark soy, brown sugar, Chinese cooking wine, minced garlic and ginger, hoison sauce, sesame oil and water. Seitan, tofu or tempeh may also be substituted for the beef. Then cook the marinated beef in a pan with peanut oil. When finished, serve it over dry Saifun threads that have been cooked in a wok with peanut oil.

Spinach & artichoke hummus

Ingredients for this very simple formula include drained and rinsed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, artichoke hearts, spinach, salt, paprika, cumin and warm water. Everything is mixed together in a food processor except the spinach and water, both of which are added after the first mixture is smooth.

Here is a sweet and delicious vegan beverage. To make it you simply combine nondairy milk, ice, cold double strength coffee, vegan chocolate syrup and sugar in a blender until all the ice is crushed. The person who posted the recipe got the idea for it by ?veganizing? one that her mother often used. Vegan whipped cream may also be used to top the drink.

And here is a bread formula. Its distinct feature?besides the combination of plain and barley flours?is cider vinegar diluted in water. After the bread has been cooked you may brush soy milk on it to soften the crust. VegWeb also has many delicious muffin recipes that you might want to try out.

Cinnamon vanilla sunflower butter

The person posting this took it from Food in Jars, a cookbook by Marisa McClellan?page 205, to be exact. All you need are the things mentioned in the name?ground cinnamon, vanilla bean paste and sunflower seeds and oil?plus sea salt and lemon zest for taste. The seeds are toasted, cooled and pureed with the oil and salt in a food processor, with the vanilla and cinnamon being added later. The butter provides a delicious addition when used on toast, apples, pears or grilled sandwiches!

Tarragon oil?which also contains parsley and olive oil in equal amounts?can be used ?as a finishing oil on soups,? in sandwiches or on poached eggs.

Yes, this is called a syrup, but the person posting it finds it unlike any other syrup that he has ever tasted. He has used other ingredients as well, including fresh lime juice, whose ?tang? combines with the tartness of the rhubarb to form a very unique taste!
