If there are any vegan gluten-free cookbooks, they probably have tons of soy, so they're not something I would own. Any particular region of India? Each little area has its own signature cuisine. It's not vegan, nor is it completely gluten-free, but I just picked up Chandra Padmanabhan's _Dakshin: Vegetarian Cuisine from South India_ recently. Most of the recipes are vegan and only a few ask for wheat/semolina. Most of the flatbread is made from rice or urad dal flour. There are a few recipes calling for yogurt or buttermilk, but you could skip those or substitute for them. Ghee, of course, can easily be replaced. I haven't tried any of the recipes, as I'm in the middle of a household move. The cookbook has gorgeous pictures, however, and is highly appealing. The ink used to print the book is heinous, though--it wasn't allowed to cure thoroughly, so the book smells like a new National Geographic. It should outgas in a few years. I also have Madhur Jaffrey's _World Vegetarian_. Her books are all lovely. This one isn't vegan, but there are plenty of vegan recipes. It's not completely gluten-free, but again, there's plenty to work with. She has other vegetarian cookbooks, but I'm allergic to soy, so the _Worlds of the East_ book wasn't so helpful for me. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi I have a birthday next week, and I'm looking for ideas for cookbooks I could get for gifts. I'm the only veggie in the family, though DH and DD will eat veggie a couple of times a week. We like a wide variety of foods, and we'll eat Chinese, Indian, Mexican or just about anything else. Any ideas? Maggie San Ramon, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recommendation: American Wholefoods Cuisine by Nikki and David Goldbeck. It's a veritable encyclopedia of vegetarian recipes.
