Veggie Recipes

Congratulations – you’ve decided to give veggie/vegan food a go! Welcome to the world of Viva! veggie delights.  We’ve put this scrumptious selection of recipes (all 100% animal free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans) together just for you. So, whenever anyone asks you ‘but what do you eat?’ just smile and point them to the website.  Click on the links and you’ll find everything you need for an effortless start.

Not only will you eat better than you ever have before, but going veggie has the following advantages:

  • Save your life – it’s official! Vegetarians and vegans enjoy better health and lifespans on average than meat eaters.  Your Health In Your Hands
  • Save other human lives – the more people who refuse to eat meat, the further we are on the road to stopping the insane inefficiency caused by a meat based diet and its contribution to global famine. Feed the World
  • Save animals – by going veggie or even better, vegan, you will save the lives of literally hundreds of animals.  Taking this step means that you no longer contribute to the misery of farmed animals’ lives and the cruelty of the slaughterhouse. Murder She Wrote and Justice For All
  • Save the planet – going veggie is the first step in stopping the eco-destruction caused by the meat industry.  Planet On a Plate

Becoming vegan really isn’t as difficult or as weird as you might think.  We Viva! gods and goddesses are living proof of that after all! In fact, many of the recipes on this site are vegan or easily converted. But if you want an extra helping hand, the L-Plate Vegan guide will do the biz!
