Vegan Summer Recipes

 

​With post-quarantine happening, all I have been needing and even wanting to do is entertain. Bringing my friends over to my new flat in Liverpool over for snacks, or a meal we can all share together. Luckily, during quarantine I had created lots of new and fun recipes for the Summer to see what would be popular to try out once everything was set back to normal. Now that we are moving in that direction, here are a few easy and quick recipes for every meal that you can try out-that are all plant based!
