Vegan Recipes - SEA Books & More

Recommended Ages

High school and up

Families exploring plant-based eating often need kid-friendly recipes that are both approachable and appealing. “Vegan Recipes” from SEA Books & More is a colorful children’s cookbook that pairs simple instructions with stories and context, making vegan meals feel inviting rather than restrictive. Created by secular homeschoolers for their community, it emphasizes whole ingredients and accessible techniques that kids can truly help with. We love how it treats children as capable cooks, not just taste-testers, and how it weaves in gentle messages about health and sustainability. It’s ideal for families with elementary-age kids who want to add more plant-based meals or raise vegan/vegetarian children. Some ingredients may be harder to find in smaller grocery stores, but most recipes can be adapted. Pro tip: let your child choose one recipe per week to lead, from shopping list to final dish, to build both kitchen skills and ownership.

Best for secular families already using SEA/Blair Lee resources or exploring plant-based living who want practical, hands-on ways to involve kids in cooking and connect food choices with science or environmental topics.

Pros

Compact collection of kid-friendly vegan recipes created by SEA Books & More (Secular, Eclectic, Academic) to support families exploring plant-based eating, often used alongside science or climate-change studies; recipes emphasize approachable ingredients and simple techniques that kids can help with.

Cons

Homeschoolers should know this is a recipe booklet, not a full nutrition or cooking curriculum; the number of recipes is limited, some may require access to specialty ingredients depending on where you live, and families not interested in plant-based meals may not use it enough to justify printing or buying.

Because this is a low‑cost digital cookbook, most families purchase it directly; some ESA or charter programs that fund health or nutrition resources may reimburse it, but policies vary and many do not cover cookbooks specifically.

Vegan Recipes - SEA Books & More Mission

The mission of Vegan Recipes from SEA Books & More is to make climate-friendly, plant-based eating feel approachable for families by offering a small, well-tested collection of tasty vegan dishes. The booklet connects everyday kitchen choices to environmental stewardship, helping kids see how eating lower on the food chain can shrink their carbon footprint.

Vegan Recipes - SEA Books & More Story

Scientist and curriculum writer Blair Lee originally compiled these sixteen vegan recipes as a stretch-goal bonus for backers of her hands-on course The Science of Climate Change. When supporters asked for a way to keep using the recipes outside the campaign, SEA Books & More released them as a standalone e-book in its secular, academic catalog. It now serves as a practical companion to Lee’s science curricula, giving families concrete, delicious ways to align their meals with climate science discussions.

FAQ: Additional Details about Vegan Recipes - SEA Books & More

On a weekend morning you might flip to a colorful smoothie or snack recipe, have your child gather ingredients from the pantry, and let them measure and stir as the blender whirs and the kitchen fills with the smell of fruit or spices. Later in the week, you could tackle a simple dinner recipe together, tasting as you go and talking about how to adapt it for your family’s preferences. 

Vegan Recipes from SEA Books & More is a short, kid‑friendly e‑cookbook that introduces plant‑based meals with simple ingredients and step‑by‑step directions. Families typically pick one or two recipes a week, read through them together, and then cook side by side, using the process to build kitchen skills, math (measuring and timing), and conversations about nutrition and food ethics. 

Adult presence is important for all cooking tasks—especially chopping, stove use, and oven work—but kids can take the lead on measuring, mixing, and plating once they’ve had some practice.

Kids should be ready to follow basic kitchen‑safety rules and either read simple directions or listen as an adult reads aloud; no prior experience with vegan cooking is required.

Vegan Recipes can support families whose neurodivergent kids have sensory sensitivities or restricted diets by offering plant‑based, often simpler dishes to try. Cooking together also builds life skills, executive functioning, and confidence when adults break recipes into clear, visual steps.

For SEA Books & More, physical products can usually be returned within 30 days if unused, but e‑books like Vegan Recipes are non‑refundable once the download link has been delivered, due to the nature of digital goods.

Not ideal for families with many food allergies or very restricted diets who would have to modify most recipes, or for households where there is strong resistance to vegan meals and using the book would create family conflict.

Alternatives include kid-focused plant-based cookbooks like The Help Yourself Cookbook for Kids, general family cookbooks with clear step-by-step photos, or free recipe collections from reputable health organizations for families who want more variety.

SEA Books & More occasionally updates its catalog and seasonal promotions; Vegan Recipes is a digital product, so you may receive updated download links or see revised versions over time as recipes are refined. 

Let each child choose one recipe to “own” and become the family expert on—have them help plan the shopping list, prep the ingredients, and serve the dish so they feel proud of contributing rather than feeling forced into a new eating style.
