From easy snacks to fancy hors d’oeuvres, these meat-free starters will appeal to every palate.
Turmeric–Black Pepper Malawach

Thin slices of summer squash are rolled up with cool, creamy ricotta and herbs for an Italian-inspired bite that guests can pop into their mouths.
Crispy Cauliflower With Honey and Hot Pepper Flakes
Crunchy cauliflower drizzled with a bit of honey and finished with hot pepper flakes is a welcome surprise of flavor—not unlike crispy hot honey chicken.
Our Favorite Mashed Potatoes
These perfect mashed potatoes are light and fluffy yet rich and creamy, with just a hint of garlic and thyme.
Kunan Aya (Tigernut Milk)
Tigernuts, which taste like a cross between pecans and almonds, yield a thick and creamy liquid that’s often sweetened with dates or honey.
Our Favorite Mac and Cheese
Crispy, creamy mac ‘n’ cheese is the ultimate comfort food, ready to grace your weeknight table or holiday spread.
Bravas Potato Salad
This potato salad is inspired by the flavors of Spanish papas bravas, with an extra fried crunch courtesy of crushed potato chips.
Royal Cauliflower Roast With Almond Cream
This elegant whole roasted cauliflower, based on the creamy dishes of the Moghul empire, commands attention on a swanky dinner table.
Lentil Lasagna

Gheysavah (Sweet Date Omelet)
This sweet date and egg dish tastes custardy, caramelly, and rich, with flavors reminiscent of French toast.
Collards Patra
In India, this dish is typically made with the large, elephant ear-like leaves of the taro plant, but you can use collard leaves instead.
Kashk Bademjoon (Garlicky Eggplant Dip)
This mashed eggplant spread is topped with saffron, blackened mint, caramelized onions, and savory kashk—a thick, salty Iranian yogurt whey.
Kuku Loobia Sabz (Green Bean Frittata)
Just as tasty as kuku sabzi, this frittata uses green beans instead of herbs. Keep it intact by flipping it onto a plate before returning it to the pan.
