Monday has arrived again, and it is time for a round-up of delicious and healthy meat-free recipes. Meatless Monday is a concept that was first introduced in 2003 in order to encourage people to eat less meat and cut the general consumption of meat by 15%. The impact of consuming less meat is well documented and the benefit is great for humans, animals and the environment.

Today for our very first Meatless Monday roundup I have included five recipes that in some way are comfort foods for me. I grew up with European parents, and foods that remind me of my childhood include spinach pie (spanikopita,) and arancini, made from leftover risotto.

These recipes are delicious and healthy versions of some of my favourite dishes, and a large majority of ingredients used are currently in season.
