4. Creamy Coconut Goodness with Pineapple and Mint Salsa
If you swap the honey in this recipe for golden syrup, agave nectar or date syrup, you have yourself one super easy dessert that's good enough to serve to guests too.
5. Pistachio and Apricot Powerballs
If there's one thing you need on a vegan diet, it's snacks – lots of prepared snacks. Eating on the go can be tricky (egg or cheese sandwich, anyone?) so this is where the protein ball comes into its own. If you've never made them before, this recipe is your perfect introduction as it's really simple.
6. Aubergine, Okra and New Potato Curry
On a vegan diet, Asian food is your friend, as so much of it's dairy-free. And this curry from Dhruv Baker is one you'll continue to cook, whether you choose to continue with your new diet or not.
7. Coconut Mincemeat Streusel Bake
Missing sweet treats? That's fine, we've got you covered with this winter bake from Lisa Faulkner.
8. Jalapeno Hummus
Chickpeas offer a lot to the vegan, which is why hummus becomes so important. But if you're getting bored of the supermarket offerings, try this version instead. With toasted wholemeal pitta breads and a fresh tomato salsa, it's one of our favourite lunches.
