Even though most of us who write for The Kitchn are omnivorous, we all are trying to eat less meat and more vegetables. We enjoy vegetarian dishes quite a lot, and the vegetarians among us (Emily, Joanna) have brought new resources to our tables. We also want to be vegan-friendly, here at The Kitchn, and we've provided a list of vegan-friendly recipes in our roundup below. Some are ready to go, and others need just small tweaks (leave out the butter, the cheese) to be vegan.
Plenty more vegetarian cooking coming in January; we're very excited in particular about some bean-centric cooking we have for you. Until then, read on for a gallery of some of the best vegetarian and vegan recipes we published this past year.
Well gee this is exciting. Can't wait to try out all the yummy looking recipes I might have missed during the year. :)

Love Mark Bittman - his cookbook How to Cook Everything Vegetarian is a must have.

yay! not veg but if I was just cooking for myself, I would be. Always looking for new ways to bump meat off the menu.

Amen on the Mark Bittman book - it made breaking into vegetarian cooking a whole lot easier. It's not a diet book either - his recipes are satisfying, filling, happy little culinary gems. Deee-lishus.

Does anyone have a good recipe for Indian-style Curry-Creamed Spinach to eat with rice?

It's great to see the vegan and vegetarian love.
I'm vegan and after awhile you get used to substituting for the butter and the cream. There's a good vegan, non-hydrogenated margarine for butter, and soymilk or soy cream works well to sub in most things. I don't recall the taste of real milk, but omnivores have told me you cant taste the soymilk in the things I've made.
Cheese is a bit more difficult, but there are starting to be some good, vegan artisanal cheeses made from nuts now.
I don't own Bittman's Vegetarian book, but I've heard there are a bunch of vegan recipes in there, and lots of other things can be made vegan with substitutions.

why is the main image in a "vegetarian" article a picture of noodles with chicken breasts?
