Brrrrr! It's freezing out there. Every morning for the last week I've looked outside to a world coating white with a layer of frost and boy is it chilly. I think we have gotten used to mild winters the last few years, but this year is definitely going to be a cold one.

It's time to wrap up and it's time to change our kitchen habits too. While I'm the first to say that salads are great all year round, it's definitely time to start making soups, stews and savoury bakes.

With that in mind, I wanted to share 48 winter vegan meals that are easy to make and will take you through the winter without getting bored.

Recipes run from left to right.

I always think tagines are similar to chilli with there spicing, so I have included them in this category.
