Veganuary recipes: Meera Sodhas daily meal plan

The Guardians vegan columnist has plant-based tips for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks to stop you falling off the vagon

When I first started my vegan column, I gave myself a month before Id have to hand in my notice. As an omnivore (admittedly one that ate little meat but a lot of dairy and eggs), I just couldnt imagine writing recipes week after week with such a strict set of rules, let alone enjoy eating plant-based food on a regular basis. But then, something wonderful happened.

Taking meat, fish, dairy or eggs out of cooking became a catalyst for creativity, forcing me, and many other chefs and food writers, to think in new and interesting ways about how to extract the most flavour and pleasure from the same old characters in the vegetable drawer.
