Vegetables, grains and other forms of meat-free proteins can make wonderful meals when you have the right roadmap to prepare them. For our friends who exclude all types of animal products from their diets, we've assembled our favorite vegan recipes that provide all the right guidance.

Our favorite recipes use mainly tofu, seitan, tempeh and legumes in place of meat -- and of course are also packed with vegetables. And the most important part is that they all have lots of flavor. Whether you've been adhering to a vegan diet for many years, or are just making the switch, these recipes are sure to inspire you to get cooking.
