Eating interesting and healthy vegan food is less of a challenge for adults with time to prepare, and more-sophisticated tastebuds that relish the fusion of spices and flavours (and vegetables). On the other hand… Feeding kids who don’t like to experiment isn’t a new challenge, but what to do when they become vegan as well? Many children and teenagers are making this dietary choice, but with the same demands for food that they like to eat. For the cook, the need is for dishes that are feasible to put together, day in day out, and yet fulfil requirements for health and nutrition. These are recipes for the dishes that we know kids want to eat, vegan or not. Some might not like pasta with wet (or dry) sauce, some may object to relishes on their burgers, or toospicy stir-fries, or just to roasted veg
but we guarantee there will be something here they like: tikka-style tofu wrap; spag veganese; ‘no-fish’ and chips; sticky tofu noodles; chocolate cake; it’s-not-cheesecake. Eating a balanced diet is important for all of us, not just for children and teenagers (and students), and now is the best time to enjoy cooking up some healthy, delicious recipes with everyday appeal. Happy vegan eating!
