Vegetarian eating is an effective and positive way to help farm animals.

With every step you take toward adjusting your food choices and with every vegetarian meal you enjoy, you are helping to prevent animal abuse. Indeed, any reduction in the amount of animal products we consume makes a difference for animals. Read our Guide to Meat-Free Meals.

Here we present a selection of recipes gathered by HSI and The Humane Society of the United States. Substitutions may be necessary where ingredients aren't available in some countries. Cooking measurements may also need to be converted (some approximate conversions included on our materials).
