Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 I've been vegan for a little over 6 years and I can tell you that it will get easier with time... The best thing you can do is invest in a few good cookbooks. Stirfries are great but you can only eat so many of them before you get sick of them. I suggest picking up some or all of the following books: Table For Two, Vegan Vittles, Nona's Italian Kitchen (all vegan even though it doesn't sound like it), The Vegan Gourmet and possibly one of the Vegetarian Times books although not all of the recipes are vegan. There are some good recipes to be found on this post so print them out and give them a try. Get creative and try to convert standard recipes to vegan. Some will come out terrible but others will work, you just have to test them.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Since we're naming a few favorite cookbooks, I would add mine: John Robbins " Diet For a New World " - great pancake and bread recipes Miyoko Nishimoto " The Now and Zen Epicure " if anyone remembers her restaurant in SF a few years back, absolutely awesome. And they've got a great wholesale bakery going now. Some recipes are complicated and time intensive, but they always turn out well and are really tasty. Myra Kornfeld and George Minot " The Voluptuous Vegan " just got this one a few months ago, but it seems promising. Many unusual dishes, lots of soups and stews. Fran Costigan " Great Good Desserts Naturally " lots of totally scrumptious cakes, cookies, puddings with all natural ingredients. They use a lot of maple syrup in place of other sweeteners. Bryanna Clark Grogan " The Almost NoFat Holiday Cookbook " even if you're not into watching the fat, this is a great book for when you just really want that traditional food, but have no idea how to veganize it. These are all vegan recipes. Regards, Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 I checked out a gem of a cookbook from the library when i first went vegan. it was called " Better than Peanut butter and Jelly " , i believe, and was geared more towards kids. all recipes are clearly marked as " vegetarian " " vegan " or " vegan option " , which i loved. all the recipes are pretty simple (nothing horribly gourmet), and a lot of kid-friendly food is made veg/vegan. the last section of the book had themed party ideas, which could be used for adults, too. My noodles w/peanut sauce recipe and my scrambled tofu recipe both came from this book. I'll post the recipes tomorrow. ~cyd~ ______________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I have this one, too. Another good thing about it is that because the recipes are generally so simple, it's good for people who don't really like to cook or are not experienced cooks. My partner, who is all thumbs in the kitchen, can even make many of the recipes (unassisted, even! LOL).
