Nothings says vegan comfort food quite like mac and cheese. Our first photo this week comes from @fwimed who has not only posted the mouthwatering image but has also included a simple vegan recipe in the description meaning you can recreate this plant-based dish at home. Happy eating!  

 

 

Some of the Vegan Culinary Cruises team are in London, UK this week so we are certain they would welcome this chickpea stew by @twopotvegan to help battle the cold and rainy weather. Stews and soups are one of the easiest and most economical ways to cook… and they make it so easy to pack nutrients into a meal.  

 

 

This third photo for this week’s #FoodFriday list once again has us singing the praises of warming bowls. @plantpowred created and then photographed an amazing soup with a coconut and turmeric broth. The trouble with being an Instagrammer is that you have to get a great photo before you are allowed to eat!  

 

 

We understand that not all of our readers are in colder climates, so let’s take a salad break. @paprikabitez shared this delectable apple salad on Instagram and color us impressed because it looks tempting. Any salad recipe that includes avocado is perfectly OK with us.  

 

 

Next time you are in the mood for a burger that packs a punch, take inspiration from this beauty shared by @nolostsoul over on Instagram this week. The perfect looking patty is packed with black beans, chickpeas, jackfruit, mushrooms, kale, onions, and peppers. Highly nutritious and highly delicious.  

Hopefully, our top 5 Instagram picks this week will work to inspire you in the kitchen. We are excited to be back with another list of vegan masterpieces next Friday.  

You can join the fun of our weekly celebration of everything vegan by posting your top food photos on Instagram using the hashtag #FoodFriday. Your plant-based delights might just make it onto our list.  

Be sure to check out our upcoming Vegan Culinary Cruises adventures for 2020 if you have been inspired by these tasty vegan masterpieces. We always put exquisite vegan cuisine at the core of every one of our vegan cruises!
