Taking part in Veganuary is a great way to shake up your eating habits and to try some fantastic recipes you might not normally serve up. Here’s a whole collection to get you started…

If you’re taking part this January, or you just want to add some meat-free days into your weekly meal plan, this selection will give you all the inspiration you’ll need!
With so many colourful dishes on offer, it’s the perfect way to brighten up your January!
