Take a journey with your fork, thanks to this collection of 50 Fabulous Plant-Based Global Meals from Around the World, which features cultural recipes showcasing food traditions from many unique regions.
The best plant-based food comes from the cultural tapestry from regions around the world. Whether it’s from Morocco, Greece, or Sweden, there are just so many rich, traditional recipes highlighting plants. That’s why I asked some of my favorite bloggers to share some of their favorite cultural recipes for meals. You’ll find an array of vegan cultural recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—each packed with flavor, color, and nutrition.
Go bold and go global, with inspiration from this collection of 50 Fabulous Plant-Based Global Meals from Around the World.
