A vegan diet is becoming increasingly popular, as 1 in 10 people have decided to opt for a plant-based meal plan in 2020 - according to a study conducted by Optical Express.

While some are choosing to go vegan for the first time as part of Veganuary, others may have followed the meat and dairy-free diet that excludes any animal products for years.

Either way, finding flavoursome new recipes to keep you on the straight and narrow throughout January - and for years to come - will make ditching certain ingredients that bit easier.

Whether you are looking for breakfast alternatives, vegan lunch options, mouth-watering mains or desserts, there are hundreds of dishes to choose from.

And for those who are on the hunt for filling, yet healthy, snacks to satisfy their hunger pangs, which are still in keeping with their dietary needs, there are more options than you think.

Cookery books can sometimes be overwhelming, especially for those who are not so handy in the kitchen, but we have found the best cookbooks to suit all culinary levels.
