🍄Why mushrooms are brilliant
Mushrooms are a great ingredient, especially in vegan recipes because they:
- are a good source of protein - check out our guide on vegan protein and high protein recipes!
- have a meaty texture, which is great for replicating meat dishes! We have more amazing recipes for Meaty Meatfree Vegan dishes!
- have that umami (or savoury) flavour, which we need to satisfy our taste buds!
- are full of fibre and nutrients, which is great for gut health and overall health
- are often cheap and readily available (some of the wilder varieties are more expensive, but you can always use supermarket mushrooms for any of these dishes).
🍝Pasta
An obvious choice for vegan mushroom recipes are pasta dishes. They're quick and easy, and often replace meat in traditional pasta dishes, such as lasagne.
🍜South-East Asian
We love South-East Asian vegan food. There are lots of incredible vegan Asian mushroom recipes that are easy to make and include those essential flavours of the East! From noodle bowls to dumplings, these are some of our favourites! Don't forget that if you want to make these gluten-free, use tamari, which is the gluten-free version of soy sauce.
For the best dipping sauce for those dumplings, we always have a bottle of hoisin in our kitchen!

🍚Risotto & Rice
Probably the classic of all vegan mushroom recipes is risotto. Risotto is so warming, delicious and filling, so we've picked out the best of them! We've also included another rice dish from us which is traditionally made with fish - a kedgeree. Due to the texture of mushrooms, they make great fish replacements too - check out our fabulous round-up of Vegan Fish and Seafood Recipes.

🍛Curry
For an easy vegan midweek meal, our go-to is often curry. It's just unbeatable! Curry recipes have always been super easy to make vegan, and mushrooms are a great ingredient to replace meat in them. We've got the curry covered from masalas and bhajis to a Tanzanian-inspired curry!
🍄Stuffed & Baked
Another reason we love mushrooms is because they're perfect for stuffing and baking! I love how the flavour deepens when you roast them in the oven, yum! These vegan mushroom recipes are also great for trying out vegan melty cheese. We love Applewood vegan cheese because it tastes amazing and melts!
🍴Sides and Snacks
Mushrooms are so versatile and are good for much more than just curries and risottos. We love this selection of vegan mushroom side and snack recipes from pâté to airfryer mushrooms. Louise LOVES her Ninja Airfryer, so expect more recipes soon!
🍲Stew
I'm super into my hearty vegan food, so any vegan stew recipe is totally up my street, and a perfect dish for mushrooms due to their meaty texture! Enjoy these for a cold evening.
🥧Pastry dishes
I just love pie dishes! They're indulgent, nostalgic and taste amazing. These vegan recipes lend themselves so well to mushrooms as some can feel like a traditional meat pie. Both Louise and I are big fans of filo pastry as it's healthier than shortcrust or puff pastry, and very easy to use.
🍔Burgers & Steaks
Yep, mushrooms are that meaty that vegan mushroom burger and steak recipes exist! These are easy and will blow your mind and taste buds!

🥣Soups
