Over 20 years, we've crafted vegetarian versions of our favorite international dishes so they are as delicious as the original meat versions.
10 Savory Fake Meat Dishes
When we first became vegetarian, we missed being able to eat popular meat dishes from around the world. So when fake sausage, beef, and chicken products started appearing in the grocery stores, we got right to work creating vegetarian substitutes for the dishes we craved the most. Below are our top 10 favorite fake meat dishes. We are excited to share them with you, so that you can enjoy them as we do!Turkish
As someone who was born and raised in Turkey, this cuisine is near and dear to my heart. Not only do I have a personal connection with it, but Turkish cuisine offers such a diversity to explore with some major influences from many regions - from Europe to Arabian peninsula, from ex Soviet Republics to Northern Africa. Some of the recipes included here are my childhood favorites cooked for generations, while others are modernized recipes from my sister-in-law or other chefs. I hope you enjoy what we prepared for you. Afiyet olsun! (That's Bon Appétit in Turkish).Chinese
As a second generation Taiwanese-American, I grew up eating Chinese food every day. Both of my parents were great cooks. They prepared and stir-fried a variety of fresh vegetables and meats for us perfectly, and consistently every day, every meal, without fail. I love vegetables and Chinese food because of them. After I became vegetarian, I missed the Chinese flavors from my childhood and was inspired to learn to make my favorite dishes vegetarian. I've worked over two decades to perfect my childhood favorites, and broadened my cooking to many other Chinese regional cuisines. Most of our best and favorite recipes on our website are Chinese. Sharing for you to enjoy too!Ethiopian
Africa, especially Ethiopia, has some of the best vegetarian recipes in the world. The blend of slow-cooked onion, butter, garlic and ginger with berbere or tumeric spices is intoxicating. Paired with tart injera bread, the food is so scrumptious. We often eat double meals when we make Ethiopian. We just cannot stop eating, it's so addictive!Other International Cuisines
