Vegan DelishIf you’re a plant-based cook or a food blogger – unless you’ve been living under a block of pressed tofu – you’ve probably heard or seen a nifty app for iPhone and iPad called Vegan Delish.  Carrie Forrest (Carrie on Vegan) is the woman behind this amazing product.  I was lucky enough to win myself a free download and let me tell you, this is one powerful app!  It’s like having a plant-based cookbook in your pocket.  I find Vegan Delish especially appealing because Carrie and her contributors nix processed foods and go light on sugars and oils.  This is exactly how I run my own kitchen.

Here are some highlights:

  • Start out by scrolling through Recipes presented in alphabetical order.  Or select from 22 different categories such as Raw, Kid-friendly, Smoothies, Oil-free, Holiday, and more.
  • Select a recipe and you’ll notice that each one is rated and even includes comments from people who have made them.
  • Ingredients for each recipe are listed in bold and you can add items directly to a Shopping List.  You can also change the quantity and the ingredient list updates automatically.
  • Recipe steps are short and easy to follow.  Carrie also lets you know what equipment you’ll need to make a recipe.
  • Love a recipe?  Add it to Favorites.
  • Click on References and you’ll find a Table of Standard Measurements and a list of recommended websites and equipment.  I love the Kitchen Timer located under More.
  • Carrie adds new recipes frequently (she just added a bunch for the holidays) and includes recipes from several contributors.

    I’m constantly amazed by the apps people come up with and that’s a great idea for one. The soup looks delicious.

  3. Sherry says:

    This sounds like a wonderful app! I create a weekly shopping list every Saturday night. I have tried winging it, but the result was a fail.

  4. Deanne O'Donnell says:

    I’m a weekly grocery list person.

  5. Cat says:

    Will it work on an i-touch.. as an Itouch is like an iphone without the phone capabilities…?

    I would love to get this app.. I struggle with figuring out what to eat… and I think this app would help.

  6. Courtney says:

    I usually go on what is on sale at the grocery store or what looks good, so I guess I wing it. But I always have some sort of a plan in mind as I am shopping, even if I didn’t know exactly what it was til I got to the store :-)

  7. GirlEatsGreens says:

    A friend of mine mentioned this to me, but couldn’t remember the name of the app – thank you for the post I’ll be downloading shortly!!

  8. coconutandberries says:

    I have the app too! I love how pro it all looks and all the search categories are particularly useful.
    You must make the PB & J pie!

  9. Brittany says:

    AHH I’ve been living under my tofu block, I’ve never seen this app. HOW COOL!!

  10. […] Pssst!  Have you entered the Vegan Delish giveaway?? […]

  11. Plant-Based Junkies says:

    TODAY is the FIRST time in over two years of being plant-based that I am actually putting together a meal plan for the week (per the hubbys request). Normally I just go to the grocery store every other day, lol!! This app would be awesome!!

    • Hubby put his foot down, eh ;-)? I’d be completely and utterly lost without my shopping list! We’d have beans and rice every night! PS it’s a fantastic app!

      • Plant-Based Junkies says:

        I always have a list, lol. I just do not normally plan my meals for the week. I just go in with a list every other day. I will for sure be getting this app!
