Start the year with healthy, yummy cauliflower steaks. Packed with nutrients and flavours, dressed up or down, it is sure to please both vegans and non vegans.

Happy 2020! I hope your new year have gotten off to a good start. If your a new vegan or non vegan participating in Veganuary, welcome, I hope you will find inspiration here in my blog. Trying veganism is a great thing and you can be happy knowing you will be saving the lives of farmed animals and helping the earth and improving your health.

I had a lovely holiday. I had a vegan Christmas dinner at a vegan restaurant with my family which was a first. They aren’t vegan but they are not opposed to it. My son, who is not vegan, told me he had tried a cauliflower steak and was impressed. If he is impressed by a vegan dish, I’m impressed so I decided to give them a try.

Making Cauliflower steaks

This is a very easy and healthy recipe, perfect for vegan newbies and also those detoxing from heavy holiday fare. It is basically just roasted, dressed cauliflower. Roasting really does great things to vegetables and this steak served with some quinoa or rice is a hearty yet not heavy, very satisfying meal.

To make, place cauliflower evenly on the parchment paper or baking mat. The steaks are done when the edges are slightly blackened.

Healthy and Delicious

These make a lovely light lunch or can be formal enough for a dinner party. They are a great meal to serve to your non vegan, veg-phobic friends. They will be amazed at how delicious and satisfying vegetables can be.

I hope you all have a lovely 2020 and new decade. Going vegan is a great way of starting something new and positive in your life. I’m very glad your onboard and on behalf of animals both farmed and wild, thank you. Enjoy!
