Recipe Help for Dabbler (biglemmowski.win)

Simply put, I'm looking to increase my overall vegetable intake and would like advice on best starter foods / recipes or recipe sources to help make the change more encouraging.

I distrust crowdsourced recipe websites (allrecipes for example) because 95% of the time the recipe is plain bad so, if I may be so bold, I would prefer 'reputable' sources.

Thanks in advance!

I'm glad you're making healthier choices recently!

Plant Based News has a section for recipes.

If you are lazy and cheap, I highly recommend https://www.theveganstoner.com/

It's not a lot of recipes, but they are designed to be able to be made while high or mentally exhausted from work.

I would say that's just a flaw of recipes in general. There's so much variability in the ingredients, especially when it comes to whole foods, that you'll rarely be able to just follow a recipe exactly and get what you intended.

I don't know how experienced you are with cooking, so I'm not sure what kind of advice would be appropriate. Assuming you're completely new, I would recommend just starting with roasting or boiling with oil and salt. I would say 90% of my vegetables are done this way. It's extremely simple, which makes it great for most home cooked meals. It also greatly reduces the number of variables you need to tinker with to learn and get things right.

Welcome

Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.

What is Veganism?

'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'

— abridged definition from The Vegan Society
