Gordon Ramsay, everyone’s favorite mean chef has hated on vegans in the past, even joking he’s allergic to vegans. He surprised everyone last summer when he revealed on Instagram that he was “giving this vegan thing a try.” He wasn’t actually committing to a vegan lifestyle, but he did add a vegan option to Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza. Now, it seems Chef Ramsay is embracing vegan food once more, or at the very least cashing in on it.

Gordon Ramsay posted a photo on Instagram of a vegan Beet Wellington this time with the caption, “Oh lord it’s happened…..we’re giving #veganuary a go this year!” Bread Street Kitchen, one of the restaurants also posted it on their Instagram account. Veganuary is a challenge millions of people accept to eat vegan all January long. The hope is that they’d commit to a vegan lifestyle beyond that, but even eating vegan for a month can make a change.

1. Pecan and Mushroom Wellington

Katie Culpin and Josh Bailey‘s deliciously flaky and warm Wellington is a gorgeous dinner treat for any time of the year. A pastry sheet is filled with a savory and herbed mixture of mushrooms and pecans, topped with a lattice layer of strips, and then baked until golden brown. The crispiness of the pastry is so tantalizingly tasty, and pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.

2. Lentil Crust Pizza
