What to Feed a Vegan (holiday feast)

If you’re reading this series as a holiday host, maybe you’re panicked about how to make a tofu turkey, or what to do about stuffing for your no-gluten guests. Don’t worry. The spread at a holiday meal is a wide and varied as a taco bar, and even though each holiday dish is composed of many pieces, you can adjust recipes to suit your guests.
Adjusting recipes often means simplifying them by doing things like not buttering the vegetables or excluding ham pieces from the potato casserole. Some recipes can be adjusted by substitution (replacing butter with vegetable oil for example), or by changing the cooking method from sauteed to steamed.
