40 vegetarian winter warmers

A bumper collection of 40 vegetarian winter warmers to help get you through to spring! Vegetarian comfort food at its finest.

Brrrr! It’s so cold outside this week. We’ve had snow here in the UK (only an inch or two where I live, but that was enough to turn my street into an ice rink and freeze my car doors shut), and I’ve heard that things are even worse in much of the US at the moment. So I’m sure lots of you will be in need of this bumper collection of vegetarian winter warmers!

These hearty casseroles, stews and pasta bakes are just my kind of food – real vegetarian comfort food that warms you up from the inside out. If I’m going to try to find a silver lining for this cold weather (I’m not a snow fan!), it’s that I can 100% justify eating comfort food for dinner every night for the next few weeks. Not that I usually need an excuse, but… it’s always good to have one.

Let’s get stuck in! 40 vegetarian winter warmers to help get you through to spring.
