🤔 What is a Vegan Roast Dinner?
Let’s begin with definitions.
A roast dinner is an essential part of British culture. It's a meal where families get together, often served on a Sunday, which is where it gets its other name - the Sunday lunch.
A traditional Sunday roast usually consists of roasted meat, mashed or roasted potatoes, and sides like cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings, stuffing and boiled, steamed or roasted veg.
So, how do you make a vegan Sunday lunch? It's pretty easy really, just leave out the animal products! Instead of roast meat, choose a vegan centrepiece like seitan, nut roast or one of the many plant-based meat alternatives that you'll find in the supermarkets now.
Cook your roast potatoes in oil rather than animal fat. Switch the honey roasted veg for maple and use a dairy-free cheese to make cauliflower cheese. With all the plant-based alternatives in the shops now it's never been easier to make a vegan Sunday roast! It's not all boiled veg and whole roast cauliflower anymore.
You might be wondering, how is that different to Christmas dinner? Well, it's not that different. Usually a British Christmas dinner follows the same format but people will go to town and put in more effort than on the average Sunday. More sides like (vegan) pigs in blankets and maybe even another main. We often have a faux meat joint and a nut roast, along with a (probably) excessive number of sides dishes.
So, without further ado, let's get into the vegan roast recipes.

Pick a centre piece for the roast dinner like a nut roast, Wellington, seitan joint or even a shop-bought meat alternative with stuffing.
