How to Make Wonderful Vegan Party Food

Vegan Party Food

Do you have friends who are not vegetarians and cannot understand how you can eat this "healthy but uninspiring food" (which is how they see it) They take the view that it is nigh on impossible to live without meat even for just one day!

So what a challenge then if you are holding a birthday party and need to come up with an interesting vegan menu which will satisfy everyone . Of course, the bottom line is that you want to have vegan party food, that everyone finds delicious! All of us know only too well that food and drinks are an integral part of a successful party and this is what we are talking about here.

Appetizers - let the Vegan begin!

Let's start with appetizers. There's a whole variety of tasty choices to consider such as vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, zucchinis, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus. Don’t forget those fragrant herbs which can lift your vegan party food: parsley, dill, cilantro, basil, oregano, and ruccola. It’s so easy to make a variety of delicious salads using these healthy ingredients, herbed and dressed with an olive oil or say sauce.

Another idea is to make rolls of cucumber or grilled zucchini and eggplant with a sweet pepper and cottage cheese or feta inside. Delicious!

Another light and tasty appetizer is a succulent mix of cherry tomatoes, olives, basil and cheese on a skewer. You might also try to serve grilled mushrooms with eggplants and asparagus on the skewer. The bright colours and combination of flavors will be unforgettable!

Lentil and carrot will help you to cook a tender and nice soufflé for spreading on crisp breads. Simply grate the carrot and fry with heated oil, and then add some lentilss (it can be boiled or previously soaked in cold water for a night). Then use a blender to produce a soufflé.

Another ingredient, which is superb for creating soufflés, is avocado. Take the avocado, onion, lemon juice, green pepper, and coriander. Blend avocado with all the other ingredients until you have a smooth consistency. Place the mixture onto tomato slices topped with dill. Mouth Watering and so simple!

My advice to you is to do your best to draw upon your creative side and don't be afraid to experiment and combine different ingredients to excite the taste buds and leave your guests feeling in awe of your culinary talents!

What is the tastiest variant of a Vegan pizza recipe?

Almost all cafes and restaurants have vegetarian pizza on their menu and it's easy to see why they are so popular. A good trick to begin with is to look at the ingredients on the menu at your favorite Pizza restaurant and then try to cook the same pizza at home.

But wait, before we get going with the toppings, shall we start with a wonderful classical sauce for a pizza? You’ll need 1 kg of juicy tomatoes, 2-4 cloves of garlic, 2 tea spoons of dried basil, 1 tea spoon of dried oregano, 1 tea spoon or less of salt and 2 table spoons of olive oil. If you have fresh oregano and basil, it will be even better. Blend the tomatoes with onion, pour into the pan or saucepan. Add salt, oregano, basil and mix. Add olive oil and mix. Heat the sauce gently over a low heat for approximately 30 minutes.

What about the toppings? It’s all down to your individual choice, but mushrooms are surely a tasty addition to any pizza? You may also add some corn, sweet pepper, fresh tomatoes and a heap of cheese. Some people even add thin slices of zucchini to create a wonderful ending for every vegan pizza recipe!

What's a birthday without a cake!

It would be unthinkable to have a birthday without a vegan cake so what are the options here?

Possibly the best birthday cake for a vegan is a mix of grape, apples, oranges, strawberry and some exotic fruits like mango and pitaya with pieces of cashew and almond.

However, you don't want the party guests saying "where's the cake?" as it looks more like a fruit salad! I would definitely recommend that you also make a chocolate sponge cake, but replace eggs with bananas in the recipe. It’s one of the tricks for any vegan birthday cake. Mix sour cream,sweet condensed milk, a bit of vanilla and cinnamon for creating a sweet but not overwhelming flavour.

Last, but not the least – take care of the drinks! Become a barman for a day and create different special cocktails and smoothies!

Enjoy!
