Ok clever cooky types. Vegan stuff?

[Quincywincy]

Have a family do and don't want the vegans to feel left out- we have two coming and I always do loads of veggie stuff especially in this weather.
Sofar all I can come up with for vegans is:
Houmous with crudites
Aubergine caviar
rice/aduki bean salad combo
spicey ratatouille

crisps
then blank.

Veg kebabs - big chunks of pepper, onion, mushroom etc on skewers, brush with oil & grill. Serve with pittas

What a great idea.
Fantastic

careful with crisps and things as they often contain animal products.

Are you making everything vegan?

stuffed peppers/cougettes

What is this for a daytime meal / buffet / bbq / evening dinner party ?????

I can't find the link thingy but if you google "red dragon pie" thats delicious (and I'm a committed omnivore)

I want to make almost all vegan. Will prob do some cheesy thing and eggs too but no meat or fish.

It's an informal buffet type summer thing.

LL that's really helpful. I thought I'd ask for stuff that people had made themselves too. Often I try out new recipes and they are vom

Ok

A big bowl of rice and peppers

a bowl of garlicky mushrooms

cous cous (in bottom of bowl) roasted veg then salad leafes on top and serve with a hirissa dressing

bread and cheeses (vegan spread)

humous / bread sticks, carrot batons, cuccumber sticks, pita breads

new potatoes with avacado, cress and lemon juice ( you can buy vegan weiner sausages that you could cook and chop up and serve with this too?)

mixed bean salad

tomato and onion salad

loads of fruit salad and seperate watermelon and you can buy vegan icecream that is really nice.

wow are you vegan by any chance?

I'm not no. Massivley respect people whoa re as I think it's such a huge commitment. I had vegan freinds over to dinner a few weeks back. I made red lentil shepherds pie and frit sald and ice cream for desert for not suitable for an informal buffet.

I was just thinking of big bowls of stuff that you could put out that don't involve you being in the kitchen and can serve everyone and that vegan and non0vegains will enjoy.

I thinmk the thing is to nit try too hard and make it very obviously egan.

Coleslawy and mayoniase things are out really unles you want to go to a health food shopa nd find a vegan mayo but I've never used it and nt sure if it's lovlety and would make a nice coleslaw. I bought vegan mozzerela and it was vile!

However vegan fuit loaf and vegan spread etc and the ice cream are all love ly and taste the same as non-vegan.
