Vegetarian or vegan recipes

Animal products usually generate a lot more CO₂. Plant-based margarine, for example, is better than butter.

The choice of recipe is the main factor that affects how climate-friendly your cooking is. This is because most of the carbon emissions associated with cooking come from the ingredients you use. As a rule of thumb, the fewer animal products, the better. The most climate-friendly option is therefore a vegetarian or vegan dish.

When it comes to ingredients, you can also do more than just choosing a vegetarian or vegan recipe. You can also avoid a lot of CO₂ by using organic products. It’s also best to opt for seasonal ingredients where possible (for example apples instead of strawberries) and local produce. In the case of plant-based spreads, for example, avoid palm oil or palm fat and opt for rapeseed or linseed oil instead.
