Great Online Vegan Recipe Resources

VeganGently.com Staff • April 17, 2021

Time to Get Your Vegan YUM!

The internet has become the ultimate resource-sharing platform for communities of all sizes and types. The online vegan community is no exception. The presence of vegan blogs, Twitter accounts, and online businesses has bolstered the vegan market around the world. With so much content fueling the inspiration for vegans both new and old, how can you find the best resources for you? With the millions of recipes available to you at any given moment, it can be hard to pare down exactly which resources work best with you. If you’re looking for new, high-quality vegan recipe resources, check out the following sites!

Hot for Food – As a member of the Kin – the biggest lifestyle network on YouTube – Hot for Food blog is run by avid vegan Lauren Toyota. Inspired by incredible flavors and a desire for a more ethic food chain, Lauren has been sharing her gourmet vegan recipes since 2015. Her Hot for Food blog focuses largely on decadent and absurdly delicious vegan comfort foods. Filling the need to appeal to sceptical potential vegans is a major need for the growing vegan movement and Lauren hits the mark!

The Full Helping – Focusing largely on more holistic and healthy vegan meals, The Full Helping is run by Registered Dietician Gena Hamshaw. Having experienced a difficult transition into veganism herself, she began sharing on the Full Helping to help others avoid the difficult transitional period which she experienced. Her recipes section is thoughtfully divided up into sections such as “main dishes” and “desserts”, making navigation and searching exceptionally user-friendly!

The Vegan 8 – In need of exceptional recipes which are simple and delicious? The Vegan 8 is dedicated to developing and sharing vegan recipes which are made up of 8 ingredients or less. Blog proprietor Brandi Doming began the operation of the Vegan 8 in 2013 with a focus on simplicity and a passion for baking. With recipes spanning from desserts and breads to family-style entrees, Brandi has something for everyone.

Italia Plant Based – Partners Nico and Louise love their Italian foods, and they’re sure that you do too. Despite a typical reliance on meats and cheeses in traditional italian cuisine, Italia Plant Based provides 100% plant-based replacements for your favorite italian dishes. With multi-course offerings vital to a truly Italian meal, Nico and Louise provide every opportunity to host your own lavish, delectable, and vegan Italian breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. 


There is a lot of noise in the vegan community, with big brands relying on influencers to focus on less exciting and more typical vegan recipes, the importance to have small-scale recipe resources is vital to a successful venture into and through veganism. Many of the above platforms host not only recipes, but social media resources to connect with other like-minded individuals. Community strength is as important to veganism as is good food, our friends hosting these resources can help connect you to both!
