The Best Vegan Celebrity Recipes, From Stanley Tucci’s Soup to Kourtney Kardashian’s Brownies

Around the world, more people are embracing healthier, more sustainable ways of eating, whether that means going fully plant-based, cutting back on red meat, or simply cooking more whole, plant-forward meals at home. In the US, research shows that about four percent of the population follows a fully vegan diet, but many more identify as vegetarian, pescetarian, or flexitarian. In fact, over half of Americans aged 24 to 39 have reduced their intake of animal products in recent years.

With this cultural shift, it’s no surprise that celebrities are also rethinking their approach to food, not just for ethical or environmental reasons, but also to support energy levels, longevity, and overall wellness.

Some A-listers, athletes, and public figures have gone fully vegan (check out our list of 44 vegan celebrities, including Travis Barker, Joaquin Phoenix, and Billie Eilish). Others are simply leaning into more mindful eating habits, experimenting with meatless meals, and sharing their healthy go-to recipes online.

Whether they’re fully plant-based or just cutting back on meat, one thing’s clear: more stars are showing off their skills in the kitchen—and we have to admit, some of their dishes are surprisingly good.

1 Stanley Tucci’s Soup

Actor Stanley Tucci is known for his love of Italian food, which he has explored, alongside his own heritage, in his popular travel series Searching for Italy. But while the show often sees Tucci trying other people’s food, he also loves to make his own. In July, he posted this recipe for string bean minestra, a vegan-friendly one-pot soup recipe he learned from his grandmother. “It’s this incredibly easy thing that my grandmother and my mother always made, and now I’m making it.” He added: “It’s a very light, light soup, but absolutely delicious. This with toasted bread and crunchy bread, it’s so good.”

2 Katie Couric’s Erewhon Kale Salad

Erewhon is one of Los Angeles’s most luxurious and expensive grocery stores. But if you can’t wrap your head around the prices, don’t worry: you can make copycat versions of the store’s ready-to-eat hot food bar items. Katie Couric previously made the iconic, vegan-friendly Organic Kale With White Bean Salad, for example. She combined massaged kale with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, chopped avocado, white beans, and seeds. “I’m very excited because I need to eat calcium, and white beans and kale are both high in calcium,” Couric said in a video on Katie Couric Media, adding that the dish is “delicious.”
