Thanks so much for this list. They look AMAZING! I wish we could click on the pictures, or have the name by the pictures to click. I keep having to go back and forth to try and match up the picture with the recipe link.
Yes, this is an old format for round ups. The new format has clickable links for each photo. And we’ll be sharing our holiday round up very soon!
Jennifer Rysdam says
Awesome! Thank you! :)
Felicia Raiti-Motherway says
I love your site. Bought your cookbook for my vegan daughter. The carrot cake is so yum that I brought it to a group of meat eating donut men and they adored it. Happy Holidays and keep making great recipes!
Whoop- thanks so much for your kind words! We’re so glad everyone enjoyed it! Happy holidays! xo
Luna says
What an incredible number of plant-based recipes for the holidays. Maybe you should have a Christmas book with all of them. The holidays are the hardest for me to plan for because most of the guests want traditional food and I want them all to have healthy, delicious plant-based food.
Debbie says
Are all of these recipes available in one cookbook that can be purchased? I’ve already printed out about 25 recipes, but would love to find all of them in one cookbook.
Hi Debbie! Sorry, these are only available for free here on the roundup!
Irish says
I am so grateful that I came across this site. I am spearheading my families transition to a more plant-based diet. Your recipes are not intimidating nor costly; of which, has been my issue of proceeding down the path of healthier eating. Thanks so much!
joe says
I am confused what to choose. My head is spinning … all those goodies. Any favorites to start the ball rolling? Tks
God bless.
Shanasy says

Malin Andersson says
I am big fan of vegan recipes. I love deserts so much. Chocolate pad is my favorite desert in sweet dishes. Last weekend, I cook chocolate pad and it was very yum I cannot forget the taste.

Just can’t say Thank You enough! You are becoming my go to for vegan recipes which I am now including more and more. Always flavorful and healthy. Really helpful when I am meal planning. Really excellent – maybe too many good choices it’s overwhelming.
So kind! Thanks so much, Lorelei!!

Toshi Bakes says
There are so any delicious looking recipes, I honestly have no idea where to start, haha. The hazelnut chocolate cake caught my eye though!
Kat says
If you ever feel so inclined to make a vegan chocolate Yule Log I would be thrilled:)
Ha! Lovely request. Adding it to my list for next year!
Kat says
Wonderful!
Rachelle says
Yes please do! i was just looking for a yule cake recipe here.
Chiara says
I’m making a yule log for Christmas this year and I’m dairy free (although not vegan). I’m using this amazingly magical mousse recipe for the filling: http://cafefernando.com/the-best-chocolate-mousse-of-your-life-under-5-minutes/
I think I might flavour it with amaretto. I’m making a chiffon cake for the cake part, which calls for lots of eggs, but I thought I’d share my inspiration.
Kat says
That sounds delicious! I made a delightful mousse out of coconut cream but I have trouble with the sponge because they all call for so many eggs and I feel if I sub that many it will ruin it.
