A delicious super sauce recipe from The Main Street Vegan Academy Cookbook.
The Main Street Vegan Academy Cookbook by Victoria Moran and JL Fields is a great book with over 100 delicious recipes and with lots of practical advices all-round veganism. It’s a lovely resource for both vegans and those who are interested in easy-to-prepare plant-based comfort foods. Today I will share one of my favorite easy recipes from the book and one of you can also win a copy of the book too. Yay!
You’ll love this book if you are a fan of vegan comfort food. It has all sort of mouthwatering recipes, from healthy and extra quick dishes to epic vegan junk foods. This book is a great example that vegan doesn’t just mean lettuce and salads (yes, I know I chose a salad recipe from the book, but you know, the exception proves the rule…). Just look at this list of my favorite recipes from the book:
- Chips ‘N’ Salsa Bean Burgers
- Beefless Goulash
- Sweet Red Chili Potato Skins
- Roasted Red Pepper Cutlets
- Creamy Vegetable Lasagna
- Easy-Peasy Mac ‘N’ Cheezburger
- Vegan Cheesy Beefy Penne Bake
- Classic Pumpkin Pie with Spiked Whipped Cream
Besides recipes the book is also filled with practical tricks, kitchen hacks, and info about vegan products and produce. The book has also general lifestyle tips, such as how to get your family involved, what to do with picky eaters, or how to eat out as a vegan.
The recipe I share today with you is a super versatile one. It provides a tangy yet not overpowering flavor that will send you back for more good food. You can use it as a salad dressing, but it’s also great with roasted veggies, beans, grains, or as a dipping sauce for fries or chips. You’ll love it!
If you try this recipe, let me know! I would highly appreciate if you could leave a comment and rate it. Also don’t forget to take a picture and tag it on Instagram (use the hashtag #greenevi) or post it on Facebook! I love seeing what you come up with! ♥︎

Dear Evi, any type of gooey vegan casserole dish is my favorite comfort food–something I can make on the weekend and heat up for several days…..YUMMY!!
And thank you so very much for giving us such great ideas and recipes.
You make it so much easier to be vegan!
All blessings from Jennifer
You’re so sweet, Jennifer! Gooey casseroles are my favs too 😉
Pot pie
Yum!
My favorite vegan comfort food is pizza. I know, so original haha. Unfortunately it’s still a very rare option at pizza places/restaurants in my area, working on mastering my own.
Hahaha, same with me…..also hard to find vegan pizza around here, but homemade is always best 😉
I already follow everything you have and get the newsletter so don’t have to do that. My favorite comfort food is probably pizza with daiya cheese and cauliflower crust.
Thanks for all that, Stephanie! And yeah, pizza all the way 😉
My favorite comfort food is mashed potatoes and gravy.
Love that too 🙂
Walnuts and quinoa
Great combo!
I love making vegan biscuits and gravy. It’s so easy and comforting, although probably not the healthiest, even veganized. I do serve with collard greens, though!
Hahaha, delicious always beats healthy 😉
“Fried chicken” although it’s super hard to find! Thanks for the giveaway!
I never tried the original, but I made some homemade vegan version for my BF and it was pretty cool 😉
Date Truffles!
Yummy!
When stressful life calls for food to cope with stress, I turn to potatoes. My weakness is amazing french fries, but baked, boiled, steamed, roasted and turned into home-fries will do.
Yes, yes, yes! Same with me 😉
Our go to comfort food is Seitan Stroganoff, with homemade seitan. Always enjoy your posts and creative recipes, thanks for putting the work into it.
Thanks, Liese! Seitan dishes are always so good 😛
Any pasta dish!
YES!!!!
I am new to your site, I found it by searching for a vegan cheese recipe using cashews and walnuts, and I love it. My favorite vegan comfort food is soups/stews— chickpea stew to be exact. I would LOVE to be recipient of the giveaway😉😊😋

I love to make Mac n cheese or a dinner my mother in law used to call American chop suey for my hubby. Of course both of these are veganised now.
Nice!

Favourite vegan comfort food is baked fries with cashew cream dipping sauce
Yeeees! That is perfection!
My families favorite comfort food has always been cauliflower mac n’ cheese. It brings my family together around the dinner table better than any other dish I know. I think for me the comfort might come more from the company though.
Thank you so much for the amazing recipes! You make being plant strong so appealing. Not to mention so very yummy!
You are so sweet, Carrie, thank you so much! And love that thought about comfort means company, I feel the same way 🙂
Chili is my ultimate comfort food because I can adjust it based on my mood and what I have in the fridge or pantry.
I love a good chili too!
Comfort food = butternut squash mac n cheez. That super sauce sounds delicious.

I love making guacamole

Wow beautiful! I’d have to say my favourite vegan comfort food is mac and cheese or lentil sloppy joes. So good!
Both sound great! 🙂
