What Topics and Food Categories Does Veggie Terrain Cover?
Veggie Terrain is a Brooklyn-based vegan food blog whose posts are organized around recipe categories, ingredient tags, dietary styles, and non-food topics like travel and restaurant reviews. If you're looking for a specific type of recipe or want to know whether the site covers, say, raw food or vegan cheese, the post labels are the fastest way to tell. The categories below are drawn from the blog's own labels and post content.
Recipe categories
The blog tags recipes by course and format, so you can browse by what you're actually cooking:
- Appetizers
- Breakfast
- Salads
- Sandwiches + wraps
- Burritos/tacos
- Pasta
- Dessert
A single post can carry several of these labels at once — for example, a restaurant write-up may be tagged with appetizers, burritos/tacos, pasta, and dessert together when it covers multiple dishes.
Ingredient tags
Individual ingredients get their own labels, which makes it easy to find recipes built around something you already have:
- Avocado
- Broccoli
- Kale
- Peanut butter
- Chocolate
Dietary styles
Beyond courses and ingredients, the blog labels posts by dietary approach:
- Raw food
- Vegan cheese
- Vegan meat
These appear alongside recipe and restaurant content, so a review of a raw dish and a recipe using vegan meat would both carry the relevant dietary label.
Non-food topics
Not everything on Veggie Terrain is a recipe. The blog also covers:
- Travel — including multi-part trip write-ups, such as a two-part "vegan love letter" to Los Angeles
- Restaurant reviews — individual vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants, with dishes described in detail
- Veg resources — a recurring label pointing to vegan guides and reference material
The site's navigation reflects this mix: alongside Home, there are pages for Why Veg?, Veg Restaurant Guides, Veg Resources, Recipe Index, and Link Love.
How to use these categories
If you want a specific dish type, start from the recipe category labels (appetizers, pasta, dessert, and so on). If you're cooking from what's in your kitchen, the ingredient tags are more direct. If you're planning a trip or eating out, the travel and restaurant review labels collect those posts together, and the Veg Restaurant Guides page groups them by location.
