Summer may well be the easiest time of year to be vegan – the UK is blessed with fantastic access to a huge variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, much of which is grown on our doorstep. The fresh greens that appear come June and July are incredible – asparagus season may be over, but in its place are fresh peas, broad beans, courgettes and fennel, leafy greens like chard and estuary greens like samphire. Not only that, the bounty of British summer fruit is astonishing – strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, the list goes on.
Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian or something else, summer is the best time of year to ditch the protein and dairy and appreciate Britain's wonderful fruit and veg. Here are ten vegan summer recipes that we always turn to when the sun is out.
