Top Vegan Recipes of 2019 from VeganRicha.com, Sticky sesame cauliflower, Tofu Amritsari Masala, Chickpea brownies and more…
This year has been a year of ups and downs.
I made a ton of videos, learnt so much, hired people to help with the editing. wrote a book proposal for an Instant Pot cookbook, streamlined some of the blog process, but there’s still lot there to be done.
Back to the good stuff. There were many new recipes that resonated a lot with you all, and many that I really loved. And amazingly, there were many recipes that I loved, that ended up in the top recipes! I usually like the more complex flavor or more creative recipes, which don’t always get the interest as much as the popular and easy recipes.
So here are top 19 posts from 2019!
