Your questions

What's the difference between vegetarian and vegan?

Vegetarians eat no meat or fish but keep eggs, milk, cheese and honey. Vegans also leave out every animal product.

How do I get enough protein without meat?

Mix up your sources: eggs, dairy, lentils, chickpeas, beans, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, nuts and seeds. Pairing a grain with a legume over the day covers your needs well.

Are vegetarian recipes good for kids?

Yes, as long as meals are varied. Gratins, pasta, crêpes, veggie fritters and creamy desserts are usually the big hits.

How do I find these recipes across the whole site?
