To ask what you’d cook for a vegan dinner party?

You’re the one ragging at someone for making a suggestion on a food post. Because something doesn’t perfectly suit your life… so strange

Homemade babaganouse and humus served with good pittas.
quorn chillie with avocados, vegan cheese, rice.
I agree with others - buy pudding.

so fucking touchy

I'd do a curry feast.

Chickpea curry (chana)
Aloo gobi
Tarka daal
Onion bhajis

Flatbreads
Rice

If you're not much of a cook, I can highly recommend Holy Cow sauces and cooking kits - they are really good and nice and easy.

No beetroot please, no mushrooms and no butternut squash.

I think a vegan puff pastry with veggies is a great idea, or mushroom wellington. For sides and starters, maybe gazpacho and a roasted beetroot and lentil salad.

It was a suggestion. Not a command. Not every suggestion has to work for everyone on Earth.

There are 3 within 2 miles of my house so it’s reasonable to expect that other people also live near Asian markets. There was one near where I lived in Yorkshire, another in Lancaster and there are hundreds in London.

If it doesn’t work for OP then she doesn’t have to do it. It was a suggestion that would work for many people in the Uk… not sure why you’ve decided that your scenario is more common than mine or that it makes my suggestion pointless for everyone on planet earth.

So fucking rude

Mushrooms bourgignonne

Aibergines parmigiana

Butternut squash stuffed with lentil & roasted red pepper salad

Asparagus & green pea risotto

Gnocchi primavera or with spicy tomato & courgette sauce

Chickpea & broccoli tagine

i usually do a normal dish & substitute meat with breaded aubergine slices or butternut quash chunks.

Pudding - prob some sort of choc cake made with oil instead of butter & vegan ice cream, or fruit tart

Why would you do this to yourself?

Guaranteed to make me want a cheese sandwich and a milkshake.

Perhaps you ought to research the cruelty involved in the life of a dairy cow. Artificially impregnated throughout their life, calves removed at birth amongst much anguish to mother and their offspring. Their udders artifical bloated to contain as much milk as possible. Please have a heart . Watch the documentary "Cow"

check the vegan pesto is nut free.

Mushroom bourguignon for main. Or cauliflower steaks with roasted veg and gravy
Starters...maybe pear and walnut salad or beetroot salad. Or lots of soups are vegan
For dessert trifle ...plenty vegan cream in supermarket. Or simply a selection of fruit..Strawberries etc with whipped vegan Greek yoghurt..alpro do a lovely one....and delicious green n black organic dark chocolate on the side

lentils will replace minced meat in pretty much any recipe - so cottage pie, spagbol, lasagne (bechamel with plant milk), stuffed peppers etc. Need to 'beef up' the seasoning is all

I make this for dessert - so easy - you can also just make the filling and have individual desserts in ramekins. I buy cartons of coconut cream rather than faff around with the tins…!

Vegans are objecting to the cruelty involved in dairy farming - that calves are immediately removed from their mothers and fed milk substitutes so that all the milk goes to the dairy industry.

I’m pleased to say that the numbers of ‘calf at foot’ dairies are slowly rising.

I love all the curries!
Choose one for the main.

Love Nigella's Dark and Sumptuous Vegan Chocolate Cake with rasberries and vegan cream.

Large baked mushrooms in olive oil and herbs with sour dough for starter.

Bit harsh - you may not have an Asian supermarket near you but you can buy tofu, maple syrup, soy sauce at all major supermarkets and even some small ones?

For what it's worth if you're trying to impress/ please your guests in a 'dinner party' style as opposed to simply feed a crowd as quickly and cheaply as possible, I would also avoid one pot/ stew / curry /chilli type dishes - there's nothing wrong with them of course but many people will have that kind of dish very regularly if they cook at home and if you're not particularly skilled / confident as a cook they may be a bit meh/below average. I'd also avoid fake meats and cheeses as these tend to be more divisive. Personally my go to for something impressive but easy is always some kind of puff pastry concoction, a tart or 'en croute' with roasted vegetables, something like this https://topwithcinnamon.com/squash-caramelised-shallot-tart/ or perhaps use roasted Mediterranean style veg for a more summery feel. Buy ready made pastry (jus roll blocks are vegan), arrange the veg nicely on top and bake, you can't go far wrong. Serve with a nice green salad or steamed greens, crusty bread and perhaps buy a vegan garlic aioli for dipping?

Dessert I agree fruit is easiest, although also something like a fool or mousse is also pretty easy using coconut cream or soy cream?

Again arrange it prettily with icing sugar and raspberries on top - all in the presentation!

Or here is a chocolate version

Make a vegan brownie served with Swedish glaze vanilla ice cream

Dhal or chilli as they are easy, tasty and we eat the vegan versions through choice anyway. I know lots are saying that's boring but honestly, if someone is cooking for you, you get what you're given. Not a dig at vegans by the way, just generally in life. There are friends I go to who serve the same meal every time. Honestly, I cook something similar at home and I prefer my version, but that's not the point. I'm asked over, eat food that someone has prepared with care for me, and we enjoy each other's company.

Don't stress too much about it, choose a one-pot thing if you aren't that great a cook rather than forcing yourself outside comfort zone because you want to impress. Everyone will enjoy it

Oooh! Would you mind sharing the recipe please? @TheEyesOfLucyJordon

Veggie chilli if you take the time to caramelise some vegetables and use a good vegetable stock is easy and tasty! Can be left in a slow cooker for hours too.

Hairy Bikers have a great cauliflower curry though for the life of me I can’t find the recipe! But something similar. We are meat eaters but I made this for a dinner party for a vegetarian and someone allergic to just about everything and it went down a treat. We didn’t miss the meat at all.

Or this from Nigella. if you don’t like dill, coriander works. And pomegranate is a fantastic addition. Definitely dinner party.https://www.nigella.com/recipes/moroccan-vegetable-pot
