Vegan cookbooks?
Posted Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 3:57 PM

Can anyone recommend any vegan cookbooks with recipes that are tasty and easy to moderate in preparation?

Happy Herbivore
Skinny Bitch in the Kitch
The Simple Little Vegan Slow Cooker (from here, PCRM)
How it All Vegan
Yellow Rose Recipes
Appetite for Reduction
The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook (PCRM)

A great website / blog is:
http://fatfreevegan.com/
It is one of the first places I look for recipes.

Thank you! That's a good start for me. I've stuck with the program so far, but I've only found a couple of dishes that I've really liked so I'm trying to find others.

If you do not have the 21-Day Kickstart book, it has easy recipes w/ easy to find ingredients.

I just bought "Everything Vegan" which is a Vegetarian Times cookbook. Dr. Barnard wrote the forward. I read it on my way home on the train today and am excited to try many of the recipes. As a cookbook collector, I always look for cookbooks with great photos and this one has some! I borrowed another vegan cookbook, "Appetite for Reduction" from the library last weekend. It's OK, too, but I like Everything Vegan better. I am trying to convince "America's Test Kitchens" to do a vegan cookbook...or at least do some vegan recipes on their website. We'll see. Good luck cooking! Very Happy

Thanks, everyone! I'm going to the bookstore today and taking a print-out of these titles with me.

Anything by Dr. McDougall and his wife will have very healthy recipes ... and I like Isa Chandra Moskowitz's books (Vegan with a Vengeance, Veganomicon, Appetite for Reduction) except she uses more oil than I am comfortable with, so I modify her recipes.

Don't make a New Year's Resolution...make a Decision!

If you like Latin food, there's a great cookbook called Viva Vegan by Terry Hope Romero. The recipes are super easy, yet really authentic tasting.

Another one that I like is Vegan Soul Kitchen. Some of these are low-fat, but not all of them.

Just got the 21 Day Kickstart book and I really like that, too.

I'll always have a soft spot for Veganomicon, since that was the cookbook that really piqued my interest in vegan cooking. I liken it to the Joy of Cooking for vegans - it covers the basics, but also lets you branch out to try more adventurous fare.

Wow, there are certainly a lot of vegan cookbooks out there!

Yes, Anything by Christina Pirello, Bryanna Clark Grogan, or Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. They are all excellent. christina has a cooking show on PBS which I highly recommend.
