Woohoo! We’ve just passed the halfway mark for Veganuary. Now, how many of you have managed to eat only vegan this month? Surprisingly, I am doing quite an thorough job. Overall, I feel healthier, lighter and I’ve stopped having cravings for dairy and meat. Quite an accomplishment, I’d say. If it weren’t for my amazing 32 vegan starters, 41 vegan sides and my 34 vegan mains, I don’t know how I’d manage. Having the option to choose from such a vast selection of vegan recipes gave me the ultimate satisfaction to find one tasty vegan recipe after another.

Vegan food is very exciting. Especially, when it comes to experimenting with new flavours and spices. This month, I found myself cooking with Indian and Thai spices in unexpected ways. Furthermore, I found out that simply roasted vegetables are delectable on their own. They make a perfect side to a main, or I also like to toss them in a salad. On the whole, I am very excited to see where these last two weeks of January take me.

It’s never too late to start with Veganuary and I highly recommend it. Give your body the detox it deserves, especially after feasting over the holidays. These 34 vegan mains are evidence,that vegan food is just as fun, flavourful and exciting as non-vegan food.

Now that we got to the end, I though it might be a good idea to also introduce soups. You can also serve vegan soups as a main course. Just imagine, if you make a big batch of vegan soup, you’ll be able to last through the entire day. You can have two or even four servings of these soups, and you’ll be satisfied  – without the food coma that comes afterwards. Why don’t you check out some of these and be the judge yourself? I already have a couple of favourites that I love cooking on a regular basis.
