Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm going to expand my collection soon: what's your favorite vegan cookbook that you've used successfully since going gluten-free, and which isn't heavily reliant on soy (which I can't eat)? Why is it your favorite? Thanks for the answers in advance. Sally http://aprovechar.danandsally.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 My favourite cookbook isn't a book at all. It's the Files here. I do have recipe books but the first place I look for a recipe is in the Files.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Not a paper cookbook, but I love www.fatfreevegan.com. that and the recipe section of www.drfuhrman.com (subscription only) have been the most useful resources for me.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 My favorite 'vegan and gluten free' cookbook is the VGF recipe files here on our list. I use them all the time! They are more comprehensive than any cookbook I've found...and the recipes are for 'real food' (ones that list members use and enjoy). If I decide to use a vegan and gluten free cookbook, there aren't too many available, but these two are very nice and well written: The Gluten-Free Vegan Susan O'Brien [Marlow and Company] OR Pure and Simple Delicious Whole Natural Foods Cookbook Vegan, MSG Free and Gluten Free Tami A. Benton [benton Health Promotions.com] Neither book is heavy in 'soy'.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yes, I have The Gluten-Free Vegan. I'm thinking more along the lines of a favorite vegan cookbook that people have found they can convert. I appreciate the files on here, but I love holding a bound, colorful, photo-filled cookbook in my hands. It's so satisfying. And I'm at the point (a year into this gluten-free, allergen-free cooking thing) where I am beginning to feel a little more comfortable with learning to make substitutions, so a non-soy-heavy vegan one is what I'm thinking. The Gluten-Free Vegan definitely has good stuff in it, though! And you're right that it isn't too soy-heavy. We use her pizza dough mix for thin-crust pizza regularly.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Sally First of all, LOVE your blog. Second, another poster listed Veganomicon. I would not steer anyone gluten-free to this book. It seems that the authors' specialty is vegan (not gf) baking. Their pastries look wonderful but in general are out of our reach. Their savory non-baking tends in my opinion to be rather stogy dare I say hippy food and far too time intensive given the mediocre results. I am a good cook but ended up throwing out most of the few of their recipes I tried. Definitely flip through this one in a bookstore before deciding whether it deserves a place on your shelf -- and if you like it, I'll send you my copy! :-) Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I got the gluten free vegetarianam and love it. It is not at all entirely vegan, and there are some recipes with soy, but not many. However, it is largely vegan, and I love the recipes I've tried. More importantly, my dh and ds have, too. I'm waiting tor 8 degrees of ingredients to come in at my local b & n...I have high hopes for that one. I'm guessing it has meat recipes in it, though...but it is egg, milk and soy free. We have food allergies, and are not vegan. I just hang out here cause you guys are great cooks and give me delicious, safe recipes! Thanks, and hth, Holli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have a handful of cookbooks but only a couple I use religiously. The first is Great Foods Without Worry which features baked goods only but all recipes are free of the top 8 allergens. The other is the Food Allergy Survival Guide. Not a ton of recipes, it's about half and half allergy info, but the recipes it does have are awesome - free of meat, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish fluten, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, yeast, soy and more. Everything from brown rice patties, millet loaf, simple nori rolls, vegan sloppy joes, chili, ginger-miso dressing, avocado mayo, creamy tarragon dressing, etc. It's hard to find a good source for recipes when you are forcibly vegan and allergic to soy as well! I browsed Veganomicon in the book store but didn't buy it because the recipes tend to rely so heavily on soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
