Cabbage, Watercress and Pine Nut Dumplings

Cabbage, Watercress and Pine Nut Dumplings
Get the Recipe

Chop the filling for these dumplings with a knife; it becomes too wet and pasty in a food processor. While the recipe calls for the dumplings to be boiled in water, they're also delicious cooked in a steamer. Make sure to buy vegan wonton or gyoza wrappers.

Vegan French Toast

Get the Recipe

For this recipe, we dip slices of day-old sourdough in a rich, thick batter of almond creamer, flour, ground flax, maple syrup, and brown sugar, which creates a sweet, golden-brown crust. We top our Vegan French toast with lots of maple syrup and sliced bananas, but it would be equally good with fresh berries or your favorite jam.

Get the Recipe

"My granny taught me that when corn is very fresh, the juices are naturally creamy," chef Kevin Gillespie says. "I took that as the gospel." He grates half of the corn here to make a luxurious puree that thickens without cream. Kevin's tip: Scraping corn cobs with the dull side of a knife removes the juices.

Grilled Garden Vegetable Salad

Get the Recipe

Chef Ludo Lefebvre says the key to perfect vegetable salads is properly cooking each vegetable. Blanching and shocking the green and wax beans before grilling gives them an evenly tender bite with delicious flavor. Don't skip this step—grilling without blanching first leads to leathery skins and undercooked beans.

This vegan soup from Desmond Tan's Burma Superstar in San Francisco features a broth that's seasoned with black mustard seeds, cumin, and turmeric. Fresh cabbage, herbs, and chiles top each ample bowl, contrasting tender lentils and potatoes with a pleasing crunch. It's substantial enough to be a meal by itself, but try it topped with falafel and wedges of leftover samusas (known as samosas in India), as they do at the restaurant.

Get the Recipe

These lightly spiced, fruity vegan cupcakes have a tender and delicate crumb with a soft texture from the full-fat oat milk and a blend of baking soda and baking powder. The frosting is soft after beating, but will pipe beautifully and is surprisingly stable. Its bright lemon flavor and light, melt-in-your-mouth quality are similar to Swiss or Italian meringue buttercreams.

Get the Recipe

All hail this Caesar salad that features jewel-toned chicories tossed in a creamy, umami-laden dressing with mellow chickpea miso, sweet-tart lemon juice, and maple syrup with toasted walnuts for a salty-sweet crunch. Pro tip: Use a white or chickpea miso here; they're fermented for less time than funkier red misos and won't overpower the dish.

Get the Recipe

These satisfying vegan tacos are made with tempeh, a protein-packed fermented soy-based product with roots in Indonesia. Tempeh crumbles nicely, making it a great option when you don't want to use ground meat, like in this taco. Flavored with all the classic taco seasonings, plus some fresh bell pepper and onion for flavor and color, the filling is piled onto charred tortillas and topped with a red cabbage slaw. Keep these vegan by passing on the traditional crema drizzle and using almond butter flavored with garlic and lime juice.

Chef Jocelyn Law-Yone of Thamee restaurant in Washington, D.C.created this vegan mapo tofu, for which she cooks finely-chopped eggplant and mushrooms down to a meaty consistency that absorbs a richly-savory blend of broad bean paste and mushroom seasoning. She says those two umami-packed ingredients quickly add long-cooked flavor. "Szechuan peppercorns and fresh ginger are balanced by a touch of sugar to round out this moderately-spicy dish," she adds.

Alain Coumont's cool vegan soup gets its creaminess from pureed zucchini, sautéed onion, and garlic. It's brightened with purslane, a lemony weed that Coumont plucks from his Languedoc country garden. If purslane is not available at your local farmers' market, substitute baby arugula leaves instead.
