It can be easy to get into a rut when it comes to recipes. You find a recipe you like, you make it for two weeks straight, and then one morning you realize you’re sick of it, so you need to try to find something new to make.
But the question is, where do you find new recipes?
I’m no better than anyone else in the situation, but I’m going to share with you some of my favourite places to find new recipes.
Not surprisingly, Pinterest is the holy grail of recipes. No matter what kind of recipe you’re looking for, they’re going to have hundreds of choices for you. Plus, Pinterest tailors your home feed based on what pages you visit and Pins you save, so you’ll be able to find even more recipes to add to your repitoire.
Instagram isn’t just for posting your selfies or Boomerangs of wine night with your girlfriends, it also has a huge vegan and vegetarian community. Hashtags like #vegetarianfood have millions of recipes and ideas to change up your meals. Again, the more posts of vegetarian food you interact with, more posts of vegetarian foods will show up on your Discover page.
Buzzfeed and Tasty Vegetarian
I’m going to be honest, I love Buzzfeed. I love their quizzes, their shopping posts, and especially their food posts and cooking videos. They make it easy to find new recipes to try by compiling a bunch of creative, vegetarian recipes into one article or video.
Friends, family and word of mouth
I’m lucky to have a lot of friends who are vegetarian, so I’ve been able to get recipe ideas from them. If you’re not friends with any vegetarians, try a Facebook group for vegetarians in your area.
Meat-free versions of food I’m craving
These days, you can make meat-free versions of practically anything, so sometimes when I’m craving a dish with meat in it, I’ll find a meat-free recipe for it online. A few of my favourites have been tacos, buffalo “wings”, and bolognese.
What’s your favourite way to find vegetarian recipes? Let me know in the comments!
