Whole cauliflower is a popular alternative to a meat roast. When roasted, it becomes juicy and sweet on the inside with a crisp shell. With extra richness coming from the cheesy sauce, you certainly won't miss the meat.

This Chicago-style deep dish pizza has all the goodness of roast vegetables, tossed in creamy white sauce. The base is almost focaccia-like. This will be your go-to comfort food to replace fast-food pizzas.

Put celeriac centre stage at your next barbecue as a vegetarian alternative that everyone can enjoy. A homemade barbecue sauce made with dried chipotles lends a smoky flavour to the sweetness of the roasted veg.

Move over chicken, this roast eggplant variation on the classic parmi will not disappoint. Add a fried egg ontop to make it extra special!

Made of Vietnamese tofu parcels, this "vegan chicken" is a soy-based alternative to your usual braised chicken. Serve with plenty of coriander springs and red chillies to up the aroma and colour.

Japanese savory pancakes can easily be made vegetarian by replacing pork and seafood with any veggie of your choice. These are a smaller version of the classic street food, a perfect snack to entertain with!

Empanadas are South American savory pastries often filled with ground beef and vegetables. This one is filled with roasted sweet potatoes and black beans, perfect for an appetiser or healthy lunchbox snack.

This dish is inspired by Adam's travels eating risotto Milanese in Milan, Italy. He had it served with prawns but wanted to enjoy a vegetarian version.
