Strapped for cash Brits could avoid a costly Christmas this year by making easy and simple swaps, according to the UK’s leading vegan charity, The Vegan Society. On average, a traditional Christmas dinner with a Christmas pudding and custard dessert, picked up from one of the UK’s leading supermarkets, could set you back around £35.47. However, a similar feast for up to six people, made up entirely of vegan alternatives, including nut patties with cranberry-orange sauce and a mincemeat baklava (a twist on a traditional mince pie and cream), only totals £22.18.  This means creating a delicious and nutritious Christmas spread, completely free from animal products, could save you an impressive £13.29 – much needed at a time when the cost of food, fuel and energy bills are all on the rise.

Looking for inspiration? Why not try Jane Hughes’ Warming Carrot Soup with Vegetable Crisps, Nut Patties with Cranberry-Orange Sauce and Christmas Mixed Roasted Vegetables followed by festive Mincemeat Baklava. Delicious, nutritious and completely free from animal products. Try London Mums’ festive recipes which are easy to follow and won’t break the bank.
