Make It Meatless: 100 'Meaty' Recipes That Taste Just Like the Real Thing

Recreate your favorite meaty meals with over 100 comforting plant-based recipes—featuring remarkably realistic meat substitutes

On TikTok, Shreya Ahluwalia’s “Make it Meatless” series has garnered over 70 million views. In this original series, she shows viewers how to create hyper-realistic versions of popular meat-based dishes using plant-based ingredients, and they are—quite literally—“eating it up!” 

Though these videos target plant-based eaters, even meat enthusiasts have admitted their eagerness to try Shreya’s creations. Shreya uses new techniques and unique ingredients such as lion’s mane, banana blossom, king oyster mushrooms, and soy curds (no processed meat substitutes here!) to recreate not only the appearance but also the texture of fish, chicken, pork, and beef. 

In Make it Meatless, Shreya teaches readers how to do the same. Turn mushrooms into Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders, tofu into Buffalo Burgers, hearts of palm into Fish Tacos, and more. You won’t miss the meat!
