Favourite Vegan Cookbook

I have quite a few vegan cookbooks, but none of them are really

great. I find recipes I create or modify to be vegan myself or take

from vegetarian magazines are usually more successful. Does anyone

have any favourite vegan cookbooks thye would recommend?

vegetarian " all by joann stepaniak. theres also another one " fast fresh &

spicy vegetarian " (can't rmember who the author is) and the meat lover's

vegetarian cookbook by daniel ??? and tanya petrovna.

I am rather fond of anything by Louise Hagler and I have several of

them. They are good if you like soy anything and everything. I also LOVE

the " Uncheese Cookbook " . I just got new vegetarian cookbook, heavy on the

cheese and ack! eggs, but I will be substituting.

 

REmind me to post my tofu poached " eggs " for making vegan eggs Benedict. Mmmm

I love the new book by Crescent Dragonwood and the more I research her work the more I like what I see. Also check out Deborah Madison. And the authors of when it all vegan they also have another book out which I can't remember the name of but the recipes are easy and straight forward.

 

Good Luck,

Stevie

I have a couple of dozen vegetarian cookbooks and by

far the best is Nonna's Italian Kitchen by Bryanna

Clark Grogan.

For people just starting out on a vegetarian diet I

recommend Linda McCartney's 'On Tour' as it is very

easy, complete and has a good forward section on

diet/nutrition, basic cooking techniques etc.

I have a cookbook called The Cookbook For People Who Love Animals and over the years I have used it to death.I understand the authors (who apparently belong to a vegan commune in Hawaii), have another one out called Incredibly Delicious, which I don't have but plan to get. I believe the authors go under the name Gentle World.

I have a great cookbook called World Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey. It's a BIG book (758 pages) and although some of her recipes use eggs, cheese, etc., there are plenty that don't use any dairy. Some great recipes from all over the world in it.

I have made her Tofu Loaf (from Tofu Cookery) sooooo many times!! It is wonderful and easy to make. I recently made it for a friend and took it over to her house for lunch and she loved it!

Thanks for your suggestions. Of the books mentioned, I only have How it All Vegan, so I'll look into the other ones that are new to me.MorningGlory113 wrote:

I LIVE on hummus. I make my own because it's so easy. I found a new hummus recipe in a Cooking Light magazine. It uses black-eye peas and it is wonderful. I made it yesterday and have been digging into it constantly!! If anyone wants the recipe, let me know.

My favorite vegan cookbook is called " Vegan Vittles " . I beleive it's by the

same authors as the Uncheese Cookbook mentioned below. I've been reading it

like a novel! ...Page by page, marking the pages " Oooh! I gotta try THAT! "

=) There's a fantastic vegan beef stroganoff, I made it twice in the first

week.

I have How it All Vegan, but I don't like it that much. Many vegans really I've talked to love it, but I find a lot of the recipes boring or bland. I think a really good carrot cake I made one time came from that book though. And the recipes aren't complicated and don't require hard-to-find ingredients, so it has that in its favour.Rebecca Ulloa <livecompassionately wrote:
