I have no problem finding inspiration for healthy vegetarian meals. I’ve been cooking vegetarian for years now and I didn’t run out of inspiration yet. I often cook vegan, so I my meals are often plant-based. When I say that I often don’t use any dairy either, people look at me as if it’s very difficult to eat a tasty and satisfying vegan meal.
Well it doesn’t have to be! I have several vegan dinner recipes on my website (click here for some vegan dinner inspiration) and I find it quite easy to turn existing vegetarian recipes vegan.

Warm some olive oil in a frying pan and fry the vegetables together with the harissa and curry spices for one minut. Add 4 tablespoons of water and fry for another 6-7 minutes. Finely chop the garlic and grate the cucumber, mix with the soy yogurt. Warm some olive oil in a frying pan and fry the falafel balls for 2-3 minutes on each side. Add the rice to the vegetables and fry for another 2 minutes.
