In May 2011, the Forks Over Knives documentary film hit big and small screens, inspiring national conversation about the power of a whole-food, plant-based diet to prevent and even reverse common chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. In the years since, with the help of Chef Darshana Thacker Wendel and many other talented plant-based chefs, we’ve amassed an archive of over 1000 delicious healthy vegan recipes!
To celebrate another year of putting our best recipes and information forward, we’ve updated our list of most popular recipes ever. A big hat tip to FOK readers who’ve made and shared our recipes over the years. Enjoy one of these tried-and-true favorite dishes today!

You have a ,like to try it..variety
Excellent choice of recipes
I love the recipes, but the Favorites feature isn’t working. Can you advise?
So easy to make and very delicious! I sauted fresh veggies and halved the garlic based on other comments. Will definitely add to our roster! Thank you.
I was reviewing the peanut noodles with vegetables recipe.
Good
Happy Anniversary Forks Over Knives! You’ve included many of our favorites in this list (no-tuna, carrot cake, carrot dogs, hummus, lentil veggie soup. Some I’ve made and forgotten about (brownies, chickpea omelet, butternut squash mac & cheese). And several I’d like to try soon (veggie burgers, chickpea omelet, thai noodles, frozen banana bites, etc.) Thank you for creating so many delicious recipes for all of us. Forks Over Knives uses delicious seasoning combinations, especially in the Indian recipes. Thank you!!
The no-tuna salad is delicious. I’m looking forward to trying all of these.
WOW – Super Exciting Recipes
Looks pretty appetizing
My husband and I have just decided to eat only plant based. I’m so glad to have found this site, the recipes look delicious. I hope this will be an easy transition for us both as we do love our meat. Wish us luck
Congrats, Linda! I hope it is going well for you. If you and your husband are starting from a more traditional western diet, it may be best to gradually transition. You can get to a wfpb diet whenever you please, though not eschewing oils and fattier foods (and processed vegan foods) may be a good way to reduce the potential over shock of transition!
Forks Over Knives is an awesome source for some really tasty recipes which are very healthy as well, but keep in mind that there are less drastic ways to get going on a plant based diet- just enjoy and don’t feel guilty for eating ‘unhealthy’ vegan foods- main thing is you keep up the good work and give yourself some credit!
(Speaking as a 16 year long vegan :))
Have tried four of these recipes. After watching documentary went. Plant based 2 yrs ago. No regrets. So did my son. Last 50 lbs improved all my health issues and feel great. Thanks for recipes!
The “no tuna salad” is a household favorite. I make the recipe x4 because it disappears so fast.
I’m trying to lose 60 pounds and reverse my pre-diabetic symptoms.
Yum! I’ve just saved several of these recipes!
I went “vegan” two years ago after being diagnosed with kidney disease. Apparently, poorly functioning kidneys find animal protein more difficult to “process” than plant protein. I really haven’t missed meat as much as I have other now restricted items, e.g. sodium, potassium, protein & phosphorus. As an aside, once I was forced to look at nutrition labels more closely I was horrified at the amount of sodium in so many prepared foods! In any event, If you’re new to a plant based diet, & have no restrictions on seasonings & nutrients, the vegan universe is wide open to you. Seasonings make the difference in all foods whether you eat the standard American diet or a plant based diet, and will make a huge difference in terms of adjusting to a plant based diet.
You can do it Lia! I did it and totally reversed my pre-diabetes. I lost 35 pounds!
The recipe I’ve made the most so far is the TuNo and I talk it up all the time and I get hungry for it every few weeks. I’ve also made 3 of the other ones and I can’t wait to try the brownies and all the rest of the 10 I haven’t made yet. THANKS!
These all look delicious, can’t wait to try the Buffalo Bites! I have made the brownies. . . they were great. I also tried a version of them with white beans, no cocoa powder, and instead of date syrup, used strawberry jam [made with only fruit]. That was also wonderful. I love my “strict” [LOL] FOK eating plan! Don’t feel denied at all!
I enjoy my FOK app, where I know I can easily find WFPB recipes without having to conduct any substitutions or do internet research to conduct them. Love the carrot cake, brownies, omelet and dressing. The other ecipes are still on my list to try
The Celeriac Alfredo recipe was terrible. It was dry and had zero taste. I gave half to my parents for dinner and they didn’t care for it either.
I am just getting started and these will be so helpful.
I use the Forks Over Knives recipe app all the time! A couple of my go-to recipes are Sneaky Chickpea Burgers and the Lentil, Chard and Sweet Potato Curry.
These ten recipes are EXCEPTIONAL!
Thank you so much! Your recipes keep us 2 elderly people without the usual illnesses. My husband was unable to avoid stents in his heart despite the major changes but he continues to do well. I beat colon cancer and neither of us has arthritus or any of the other “old age” ailments.
You are, without a doubt, saving lives!!
Kaylyn and Ed…two other ‘elderly’ fans here (77/82) agree with you. Still healthy, active and going strong after ten years eating mostly whole, plant based foods. Barbara and George Parker
Love love the tastiness and east of these wonderful recipes!!!!!
Love the variety—chickpea omelet for breakfast, no-tuna salad for lunch, quesadilla for dinner—and brownies for desser/throughout the day! 🙂
