Vegan Christmas Cooking FAQs

Planning a plant-based Christmas feast? Find practical tips for swapping ingredients, preparing dishes ahead, and serving everyone at the table.

What can I use instead of eggs in Christmas baking?

For cakes and muffins, try a flax egg: one tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with three tablespoons of water. Aquafaba, the liquid from canned chickpeas, works well when a recipe needs whipped egg whites.

What can replace butter in festive recipes?

Use plant-based butter for pastry, biscuits, and rich sauces. Olive oil works well in savoury dishes, while coconut oil can suit recipes where its flavour is welcome.

How do I make a vegan Christmas main feel special?

Choose a centrepiece such as a mushroom Wellington, lentil loaf, or stuffed squash. Add a glossy glaze or herb-rich gravy and serve it with colourful seasonal sides.

Which Christmas dishes can I make ahead?

Prepare soups, sauces, cranberry relish, and many desserts a day or two early. You can also assemble a Wellington or loaf in advance, then bake it fresh according to your chosen recipe.

How can I make creamy sides without dairy?

Use unsweetened oat or soy milk in mashed potatoes and sauces, and add plant-based butter for richness. For a thicker sauce, blend in soaked cashews or use a little cornflour.

What should I check when buying ingredients for vegan guests?

Read labels on pastry, stock, chocolate, and meat alternatives, which can contain milk or eggs. Check for honey in glazes, and ask guests about allergies or other dietary needs before you shop.

How much food should I plan for a mixed group?

Make your vegan main and sides generous enough for everyone to try, not just the vegan guests. Offer familiar favourites such as roast potatoes and vegetables so each person can build a satisfying plate.

Can I make vegan gravy without meat drippings?

Yes. Brown onions and mushrooms, then add vegetable stock, herbs, and a splash of soy sauce for depth. Thicken with flour or cornflour, and taste before serving.

How do I keep vegan Christmas dishes warm for guests?

Warm serving dishes before filling them, and keep sturdy sides covered in a low oven. Leave crisp foods uncovered until serving so they stay crunchy, and bring gravy to the table hot.

Make a New Christmas Favourite

Pick the vegan recipe you can’t wait to share, add its ingredients to your shopping list, and give it a place on this year’s Christmas table.

Vegan Cooking Basics – Behind the Scenes

by | Oct 3, 2026 | News

The Stories and Steps Behind Plant-Based Cooking

Wegany started in our own kitchen. As a vegan family, cooking has always been part of our everyday life. Like many families, we wanted meals that were nourishing and delicious, but also simple enough to make on a normal busy day.

Over the years, we cooked, tested, failed, adjusted, tasted again — and slowly discovered what really makes plant-based cooking work. How to build flavour. Which ingredients are worth always having at home. How to turn simple vegetables, grains and legumes into meals everyone actually looks forward to eating.

A Family’s Perspective

Most importantly, everything we share in this course has been tested where it matters most to us: at our own family table.

From Idea to Plate

See how an early flavor idea becomes a recipe worth making again.

WeGany Hints & Tricks

That is why we created Wegany Vegan Cooking Basics. We wanted to make the beginning of plant-based cooking easier for anyone who feels overwhelmed by complicated recipes, unfamiliar ingredients or the idea that vegan food requires a completely different way of cooking. It doesn’t.

Starting a course also meant figuring out how to actually record one. How do we capture clear sound, set up the cameras, and create a space where conversation feels natural? There was plenty to learn, but the experience we had gained through our other projects came in handy. Photography, video, storytelling, and communication all found their place in the process. We brought that knowledge together, experimented, and learned as we went. 

Explore the Interview

Practical Everyday Techniques

With each recording, we became more comfortable with the technical side, giving us more room to focus on the people, their stories, and the conversations we wanted to share.

You simply need a few good foundations, some practical techniques and the confidence to start experimenting. This course is our way of sharing what we have learned in our own kitchen — the little tricks, combinations and basics that have become part of the way our family eats every day. You don’t need to be vegan. You don’t need to be an experienced cook. And you definitely don’t need a perfect kitchen.

Just bring your curiosity.

How a Recipe Comes Together

Step 1

It usually starts with a craving, a seasonal ingredient, something we’ve tasted while travelling, or simply what we have in the fridge.

Step 2

Then comes the fun part. We cook together, experiment with flavours, change ingredients, add a little more of this or less of that — until everyone at the table is happy.

Step 3

Only the recipes we genuinely love and would make again become part of WeGany. Tried at home, approved by our family, and ready to be shared with yours.

Where Vegan Flavor Begins

Explore the Technique

Char for Depth

Blistered tomatoes and flame-kissed peppers bring a smoky sweetness that gives plant-based dishes a satisfying backbone.

Meet the Ingredients

Pantry with Purpose

Miso, tahini, and preserved lemon do the heavy lifting, adding savory richness, creaminess, and bright acidity.

Taste the Pairings

Contrast on Every Plate

Crisp herbs cut through silky sauces, while a little heat plays against the natural sweetness of roasted vegetables.

See the Process

“Vegan cooking gives us room to play: every ingredient is a chance to find a new flavor, and the best part is sharing that discovery.”
