Plenty! Although it is not technically a vegan cookbook, I am sure you could adapt many of the recipes to your liking. You must try the Sweet Winter Slaw....so yummy!

Veganomicon was already posted, so I recommend Isa Does It, and Chloe's Kitchen.

I like this one about green smoothies: http://www.amazon.com/Green-Smoothie-Revolution-Radical-Towards/dp/1556438125

One of the things I do for work is build websites for people and organizations I just built this website for the author's son Sergei Boutenko about green smoothies and endurance sports athletes. There's some great green smoothie recipes in the book.

I love this book, its vegetarian but most of the recipes don't include eggs or cheese.

http://www.amazon.com/Fresh-Vegetarian-Slow-Cooker-Recipes/dp/1558322566/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397828954&sr=8-1&keywords=vegetarian+slow+cooker

It looks like they have a vegan version, that I haven't seen yet

http://www.amazon.com/Fresh-Vegan-Slow-Cooker-Ultra-Convenient/dp/1558327908/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397828954&sr=8-2&keywords=vegetarian+slow+cooker

The nice thing about these recipes is that they work just as well in a solar oven.

11 years of vegan cooking and some of my absolute favorite vegan cookbooks that I use weekly are:

The Everything Vegan Baking Cookbook by Lorena Novak Bull
Vegan Yack Attack On the Go by Jackie Sabon
Vegan Bowl Attack by Jackie Sabon
Yum Universe by Heather Crosby
Vegan Richas Indian Kitchen

Once you have a good foundation you'll find you know how to substitute anything and turn it into a vegan dish.

The initial question was about vegan cookbooks, but today I look up a lot on the internet and do not have many physical books around.

So here are some options that include vegan and vegetarian:

Veg everyday (Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, great options on seasonal veggies)
Plenty - and Plenty More (Yotam Ottolenghi, uses some more expensive, "exotic" veggies though, at least for Northern European standards).

Websites (they all have a YT channel as well):
Pick Up Limes (https://www.pickuplimes.com/)
Rainbow Plant Life (https://rainbowplantlife.com/)
Some recipes from Pro Home Cooks (https://prohomecooks.com/)
Yeoung Man cooking (https://yeungmancooking.com/)

I especially love the YT channels of the first two mentioned, two sweet and kind young ladies, but also Hugh and Ottolenghi have given me so much knowledge over the last years, and in my family (though not vegan) we eat like kings.

I live and die by 3 cookbooks, I have high a standard for my daily drivers, I’m always looking to add to this collection but it’s rare a new book enters. I own dozens and use them all however sparingly.

Afro-Vegan
Vegetable Kingdom
The Cajun Vegan Cookbook

If you can’t tell I love southern/Caribbean/Louisiana food. Cajun Vegan is the newest addition. I do my best to cook every recipe, front to back.

My success with these books was highly dependent on the supermarket “Sprouts” opening about 20 minutes away, I go once a week or less. These are all whole food, the most processed things they use are vegan mayo and vegan butter.

Do you have an author for these recommended books?  Amazon lists at least four plausible options for "Cajun Vegan Cookbook", and six for "Afro Vegan".

Many thanks!

Many thanks!



These are pretty new-age books, reliant on international trade, just worth a mention if you grow most of your food or only have less "hippy-like" grocery stores.

Bryant Terry for the first two and Krimsey Lilleth for the second.

It's hard to explain what makes them so good, but they're extremely coherent. Many vegan cookbooks have breakfast, lunch, dinner... etc... they pick and choose recipes, one page will be Mexican and the next will be Asian, the next will be Italian... These don't really do that, all the recipes have an identity and stick with it. These books have a coherence rarely found anymore, personality that runs through the books front to back. I think one other book that might be suitable for my rotation is The Korean Vegan but I haven't cooked all of Cajun Vegan yet so I am trying not to add anything.

Vegetable Kingdom classifies its recipes based on the main ingredient relative to the food type, tubers, roots, flowers, etc., and Afro-Vegan pairs each recipe with an entire book recommendation and a song from his culture, all top notch (at least to someone that listens to every type of music there is and a lot of jazz). Krimsey is straight out of Louisiana and had basically the first successful vegan restaurant there before the virus, lots of quirks, tips and tricks from the book.

Every recipe in those three books I feel is important.

My vegan wife suggested cookbooks by Isa Chandra Moskowitz as being especially helpful for people ‘transitioning’ — lots of easy recipes which replicate the umami of familiar foods.
