Forget beef burgers and chicken skewers, if you're vegan, there's plenty for you to enjoy, too. In fact, being a vegan has never been so exciting, and we promise there isn't a frozen soy-burger in sight (unless that's your thing).

Instead we've got some gorgeous vegan options from tasty harissa aubergine scattered with pomegranate, to sticky tofu and pineapple skewers. And if you're dying for a burger, you can't go wrong with our chickpea and sweet potato version.

If you can't be bothered to make anything from scratch, take a look at our top scoring meat-free sausages and meat-free burgers, tried and tested by our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute.

Mellow tofu is a blank canvas for flavours, ready to absorb this fiery jerk marinade. We like the extra-firm tofu variety, which doesn’t need the messy and time consuming pressing other varieties often call for.
