What Is Veggie Terrain?
Veggie Terrain is a Brooklyn-based vegan food blog. It publishes vegan recipes, product and restaurant reviews, food photography, and longer culinary articles, aimed at readers interested in vegan eating and plant-based living. Content is organized as dated blog posts with topic labels, plus a set of standing pages.
What you'll find on the site
The blog's own description lists four content types:
- Vegan recipes — the core of the site, indexed through a dedicated Recipe Index page.
- Product and restaurant reviews — first-person write-ups of specific dishes and venues.
- Food photography — described as "mouth-watering food pics," often attached to reviews and travel posts.
- In-depth culinary articles — longer pieces beyond a single recipe.
How the content is organized
Two structures do most of the work:
Standing pages. The site's navigation includes Home, Why Veg?, Veg Restaurant Guides, Veg Resources, Recipe Index, and Link Love. If you want recipes rather than narrative posts, start with the Recipe Index; if you want dining options, start with Veg Restaurant Guides.
Post labels. Individual posts carry topic tags that cut across categories. Labels visible on the sampled posts include: appetizers, avocado, breakfast, broccoli, burritos/tacos, chocolate, dessert, extras + non-food, kale, Los Angeles, pasta, peanut butter, raw food, Restaurant Reviews, salads, sandwiches + wraps, travel, veg resources, vegan cheese, and vegan meat. These mix ingredients, dish types, cuisines, and post formats, so a single label can pull together recipes, reviews, and travel writing at once.
What a typical post looks like
The sampled posts are travel-and-restaurant pieces rather than recipes. One is a two-part "A {Vegan} Love Letter to LA," written from a New Yorker's perspective, covering vegan restaurants visited in Los Angeles and, in the second part, the California desert.
The restaurant coverage is specific rather than listy. For example, the write-up of SunCafe's Studio City location notes it is an entirely organic, vegan restaurant offering fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, and several raw and/or gluten-free options, and describes a meal that began with raw Lettuce Leaf Tacos — romaine leaves filled with "sun chorizo," cashew cheese, and pico de gallo, plus avocado and basil ranch dressing.
That level of dish-by-dish detail is the site's characteristic style: you get the name of the place, what it serves, and what the author actually ordered.
Who it's for
Readers who want vegan recipes, want to know what a specific vegan restaurant is like before going, or want plant-based dining guidance for a trip. The Brooklyn framing and heavy Los Angeles and travel coverage mean it reads partly as a personal food journal — expect opinionated first-person writing, not neutral listings.
Practical notes
- Posts are dated, and the sampled entries run from 2013 to 2015, so restaurant information in older reviews may no longer be current. Treat venue details as a snapshot of when the post was written.
- The site is in English.
- No pricing, subscription, or login information appears in the available material, so nothing can be said about whether any part of the site is paid or gated.
If you're deciding whether to use it: go to the Recipe Index for cooking, Veg Restaurant Guides for eating out, and the label pages if you're chasing one ingredient or one city.
