American Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November. Design your vegetarian and vegan Thanksgiving menus to please any palate.
American Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, we tend to forget that our American neighbours celebrate this holiday with a lot more gusto than we do, so it’s only appropriate that the food is fantastic.
There are two general options when it comes to vegetarian-izing holidays.
- You can try to substitute old favourites with vegetarian versions of the same, or
- You can go in a whole new direction.
What you choose is up to and your family and both approaches have merits. On one hand, there is tradition. On the other, creating new traditions and less stress at trying to find the spices that make tofu really taste like turkey.
Either way, it’s time to start gathering resources for Thanksgiving dinner!
If you find yourself cooking for a vegetarian crowd (or even one person), be sure to read Cooking for Vegetarians first.
