Last year, we launched our Plant Based Culinary Club Challenge as a way to connect with our readers in a different way and also give back to you and our community. We tried for two months and decided to take a break. We’re ready to come back stronger than ever!
The Culinary Club Challenge is designed to be a super simple, but fun, way for us to join together readers from all over the world with one simple task – make the “recipe of the month”.
Andrew and I will choose a recipe, you will make it, and then leave a comment on the blog post. After the month is over, we’ll randomly select a winner and they (Hopefully you!) will win a prize.
Originally, we kicked off the club with Sofritas, and this month we’re going to do our Easy Vegan Chickpea Curry.

Here’s how it’ll work:
Join us for an epic challenge!
On the first Thursday of every month we’ll announce the Recipe of the Month. Sign up for our newsletter, so you’re the first to know moving forward.
Gather your ingredients and make the recipe each month!
By January 31st at 11:59pm EST, go to the chickpea curry recipe post that you made and leave a comment. (NOT ON THIS POST!)
For a bonus entry, email us at [email protected] and share a photo of what you made.
Bonus entry #2 – post your photo creation on your Instagram (must be public) and tag @makeitdairyfree and/or @thenarddogcooks with the hashtag #PBCCC
All entries are 1 point.
The Prize:
A $100 Giftcard to the Grocery Store
Yes, you read that right! There’s a chance for you to earn actual money.
At the end of the month, we’ll randomly choose one winner and you’ll be able to tell us which grocery store that you’d like a digital giftcard too. *Note: it must be a grocery store that has the option for a digital giftcard to be sent.
We’ll also be donating $1 for every entry we have to Cathedral Kitchen.
January’s Recipe: Easy Chickpea Curry
We wanted to kick off the year with this recipe because not only is it easy, but it’s comforting, great for the winter months, healthy, and loaded with nutrients, all while being budget friendly.
Switch it up: Feel free to try other ingredients in place of the chickpeas if you can’t have them – white beans, cauliflower, and tofu are great options!

I’ll bite…😂 I am buying the ingredients today to make this for the upcoming week. Thank you!
Enjoy!
This curry came out delicious! It’s the best curry I’ve ever made. I didn’t make it as hot as most curries but the taste was rich and flavorful.
Awesome!
I am new to this and love these easy recipes. They are so flavorful and enjoyable. A friend passed your recipes on to me and so now I’m sharing with my friends.
So happy to hear that!
Delicious! Perfect for a party because I’m guessing a lot of the prep can be done ahead of time. Kitchen smelled fantastic too. I would recommend this recipe.
Thank you
This is an awesome idea. Fun way to help me stay motivated with my plant based diet journey!
Nice! So glad to hear that
I will bite (pun intended).😂 I love the idea of one recipe a month. I’m happy to make the recipe and share it on Instagram by the end of the month. Just yesterday I made your Indian Masoor Dal recipe to enjoy over the weekend. Thanks for the invite.
Yay!
I have made this recipe and it’s phenomenal! I look forward to exploring some new recipes in 2025 with this challenge. Thanks for hosting it!
Welcome!
