Explore CuisineSavvy recipes and articles tagged Plantbased.
This collection brings together CuisineSavvy recipes explicitly tagged Plantbased. It is a focused way to explore the catalogue without scrolling through every plant-based recipe on the site. Tags describe the recipe as published; they are not inferred from a title or from a search phrase. That makes the recipes here a more dependable match for the topic, while still leaving room for different cuisines, courses, cooking methods and levels of complexity.
Use the filter below to narrow these plantbased recipes by an ingredient, dish or cooking style, then sort the complete set by newest, oldest or HealthScore. Each recipe links to its full ingredients, method, declared allergens and nutrition panel, so you can compare the details that matter to you rather than relying on a label alone. Nutrition needs vary from person to person; where a category relates to a medical condition or prescribed diet, use the recipe data as a starting point and follow advice from your qualified healthcare professional.
Golden and fragrant from the oven, this gluten-free loaf is studded with jewel-bright cranberries and laced with earthy sage — a combination that is tart, savoury-sweet, and deeply satisfying. The crumb is tender and moist thanks to a whole-food plant-based method built on almond flour, teff, and oats. Serve it warm alongside a festive spread or sliced thick for a next-day toast.
