Today I’m sharing a collection of 30 vegan Valentine’s Day dinner recipes from all over the blogosphere that will make planning romantic vegan meals for two a breeze.
(NOTE: This post originally included 25 recipes, but I have since expanded it to 30 recipes.)
Valentine’s Day is a special time in the vegan blogosphere because every food blogger aims to release a special vegan Valentine’s Day recipe for the world to try.
However, most of the time these recipes tend to be for desserts. Nothing wrong with a good dessert, of course 🙂 but what about those of us trying to put together a whole Valentine’s Day dinner?
This is where my vegan Valentine’s Day recipe roundup comes into play.
In my opinion, any special occasion dinner needs to include at least three courses: an appetizer, a main dish and, of course, dessert. Below you’ll find recipes to fit each of those categories.
Since there’s no shortage of color pink in everything Valentine’s Day-related, I decided to venture beyond this staple color in my recipe selection.
I mean, a splash of pink is lovely in a romantic dinner spread, but I don’t think anyone will complain that there wasn’t enough pink in their dinner if that dinner was utterly delicious.
To me, Italian cuisine is perfect for a romantic vegetarian dinner. I kept this recipe collection mostly Italian-themed for appetizers and main course, give or take a few recipes.
Once we get to desserts, all bets are off: bring on the pink hearts, yummy pastries and, of course, chocolate!
Here’s a video about these vegan Valentine’s Day recipes that I posted on my YouTube channel, Adventures in Vegan Living:
Just a note: not all of the blogs featured below are 100% vegan, but all of the recipes are.
