Not sure why, but vegan and vegetarian cookbooks rarely present many appetizer recipes to speak of, so hopefully you'll find the wide array of choices here useful and appealing. A nice idea for entertaining (for the winter holidays or any casual occasion) is to offer a spread of hot and cold appetizers (instead of the usual sit-down dinner) with wine or cocktails, followed by a dessert buffet. If you need ideas for a vegan dessert buffet, we've got you covered there as well, of course, on the Vegan Dessert Recipes page. Shown above, Eggplant and Tomato Spread. [Read more...]

Vegan Passover Seder Recipes and Menus
These vegan Passover Seder recipes and menus (great for vegetarians too) focus on the fresh produce of early spring - very fitting, as the holiday has connotations of renewal and rebirth. Though there's flexibility in what may be served for the meal itself, there are also many restrictions. Ashkenazic Jews avoid, aside from bread-related products, many other grains and legumes. For Sephardic Jews, leavened wheat products are avoided, but rice and other grains can be used, as well as legumes. Shown above: Spring Vegetable Soup with Vegan Matzo Balls; photo by Susan Voisin.
