I'd love to hear which vegetarian, or vegan cookbooks are your favorites. I also pull recipes off of the Food Network, Whole Foods, Real Simple, and VegNews sites, so let me know what your favorite veggie recipe websites and blogs are too. If I get enough responses, I'll do a round-up post of your recommendations next week.

Oh, definitely Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison, as Rachel said. I also just checked out (and included a recipe on my blog today) from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson. It isn't a go-to cookbook for me yet, but I'm thinking some of the recipes might be.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, Britt! (Longtime reader, infrequent commenter.)
Britt, we like the same cookbook authors!
ReplyDeleteI use Isa's Vegan with a Vengeance a lot. I am hoping that she will have a family one day so she will write a cookbook of quick and kid-friendly recipes.
I also really like the Moosewood Restaurant's Simple Suppers cookbook.
And Nava Atlas's Vegan Express.
Thanks for your recommendations, Rachel, Beth Melissa, and Wendy!
ReplyDeleteVegetarian Cooking for Everyone and How to Cook Everything Vegetarian have been coming up a lot on Facebook and Twitter too. I'll have to check them out.
Melissa ~ I have Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker too. I haven't found many recipes from it yet that I **love**, but I have made the Ready and Waiting Bean and Vegetable Ragout (p. 72) more than once.
Oh, and Melissa, thank you sooooo much for being a longtime reader. That warms my heart (:
ReplyDeleteI would add:
ReplyDelete-La Dolce Vegan (Sarah Kramer)
-Vegan a Go-Go (Sarah Kramer)
-Viva Vegan (Terry Romero)
-Vegan Yum Yum (Lauren Ulm)
I probably use "Vegan a Go-Go" the most, because the recipes use very few ingredients. I also really enjoy "Appetite for Reduction". Great books. Great list!

Hi Regina ~
ReplyDeleteI have Viva Vegan. Everything I've made from it has been crazy delicious, but the recipes take such a loooong time to make. Which are your favorites, that don't take too long to make?
I also have Vegan Yum Yum and La Dolce Vegan (yes, I am a cookbookaholic), but haven't made anything I loved from them yet. I would love your recommendations.
I do NOT have Vegan a Go-Go. I'll have to check it out.
