November is World Vegan Month, and as committed foodies we’ve pulled together a delicious plant-based dinner party menu that everyone can enjoy.

There has been a lot of confusion around veganism, but being vegan simply means eating a plant-based diet free of animal foods and products including meat, dairy, and honey, and living in a way that avoids the exploitation of and cruelty to animals wherever possible.

Around 6% of Americans (that's 19.5 million people) are now vegan, and the number of vegans worldwide is increasing every year.

The number of mouth-watering vegan recipes in our cookbooks is also increasing — nearly half the recipes in Dehydrating at Home are vegan! — and today we’re sharing some of our favourites.

When it comes to conversations around seasonal comfort food, meat and gravy tend to dominate the scene.

(We’re guilty of this too, as we included a recipe for savoury steak and oyster pie in our fall menu. Meat lovers can get the recipe here.)

But since October 1^st is World Vegetarian Day, we thought it was time that vegetarian comfort food was given some credit. To help you celebrate, we’re sharing three of our favourite comforting recipes just for vegetarians.

Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty soup, a veggie twist on a classic Greek dish, or a scrumptious seasonal side, these delicious recipes will see you through the season and leave everyone wanting seconds.
