Taking the stress out of Veganuary

With veganism on the rise, it was only a matter of time before it came to your home. The thought of Friday night dinners sans meat, milk or even fish may seem an impossiblity, but there are more and more options for the kosher vegan — and they won't even feel deprived of their chicken soup...

1. Smoked-salmon-less bagel: 

What is Sunday morning without salmon bagels? Lara Balsam of the Jewish Vegetarian Society has come up with a salmon-free alternative using carrot. Spread that bagel with vegan cream cheese and settle down with the Sunday papers. 

2. 'Chicken' soup:

Another staple - Friday night cannot happen for many of us without the magic, golden broth. This recipe from Lara Balsam (with gorgeous image supplied by Jewish Food Hero) will give you all the steaming comfort you could ask for.
