Question 1

Can I scale these mains to feed a larger group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many recipes can be doubled or baked in sheet pans/pans to serve more people; check the linked recipe for pan-size recommendations and increase cook time gradually while monitoring doneness.

Question 2

Are there vegan options in this roundup?

Accepted Answer

Several mains are vegan or easily adapted—look for lentil loaves, vegetable-stuffed squash, and many savory tarts that can be made without dairy. Check each recipe’s notes for vegan swaps.

Question 3

How do I keep a pastry Wellington from sogging?

Accepted Answer

Prevent sogginess by cooking high-moisture fillings well (sauté mushrooms and vegetables until concentrated), cooling fillings before wrapping, and brushing pastry with an egg or plant-based wash for a protective seal before baking.
