Gourmet Food/Christmas Recipes/Vegan Christmas Dinner Menus
Providing a vegan Christmas dinner need not be a problem. Instead of drawing up a full vegan Christmas dinner menu, simply use the planned vegan dishes and provide an alternative to the Christmas meats, all laid out in a buffet style. Both vegans and carnivores can then feel they are partaking of the same meal. Vegan Christmas dinners can be versatile and delicious and will give an opportunity to everyone to sample vegan Christmas dinner recipes.
You will be surprised at the number of Christmas dinner items which are compatible with a vegan Christmas dinner e.g. cranberry/apple/, stuffing, gravy made from onion granules, vegetable soups and all dishes made from vegetables, nuts, fruit and grains.
Try rounds of crusty baguette with sautéed mushrooms and onions or a bean spread.
