What is your favorite vegetarian/vegan cookbook?

There's just so many out there...I'd love to hear from you all which ones you use on a regular basis!

 

La Dolce Vegan by Sarah Kramer.
I think I only use it so much because I kind of know her and I like the way she writes.

Her website is... http://www.govegan.net/

 

I bet you have a crush on her

I have all 3 of her books, and I recently ordered Vegan With a Vengeance and Vegan Planet. I have about 15-20 vegetarian cookbooks. Vegan Favorites and Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook have both been very helpful. For vegans, the Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook is great. Try the nacho cheese! Add cumin and cilantro and you have a great dip.

 

The Native Foods Resturant Cookbook fucking kicks ass. Sooo many AWSOME recipies. I Highly recomend it.

 

Haha!
I wish.

She's happily married and I'm straight.

 

My favorite is Vegan Family Favorites! Its soooo yummy!

 

Any decent Indian cook book or veg Thai cookbook!

Rajma masala...veg green curry...spinach cabbage lemon grass noodles...Chickpea masala...Egg curry...veg samosas...vietnamese spring rolls...onion bhajis...

 

I want you to promise to cook me dinner,

 

I got that book for Christmas and love it too
My omni family enjoy the salads and baking I've made so far too.

My other favourite is 'vegan cooking for one' by Leah Leneman. Lots of quick, simple tasty meals; without ending up needing to half/quater everything or end up with leftovers, as is often the case with other cookbooks for the only veg in the village.
Another thing I like is that the recipes are arranged in weeks worth of meals, so it's easy to organise and shop for. Though there's nothing to stop you just going by what takes your fancy.

 

I really dug "The NEW Moosewood Cookbook" back before it flew out the back of our trailer while we were on-the-road. () Lots of excellent recipes, and it doesn't have fish like some of her other books do.

i think alot of the vegetarian community got kinda tired of the awesome moosewood cookbooks and like myslef threw a fit about it, and the pescatarian cookbook now has a new veggie cookbook...my mom has it..LOL..believe it or not

 

"Great Vegetarian Recipes, over 240 recipes from around the world." by Kurma dasa.
My mum bought this for me from a hare krishna guy who came into her work one day in a small country town in the south west of Australia. The seventh Day adventists who should have known better were hanging shit on him so mum thought what the heck and bought it for me cause she knew I would use it and it would stick one up the people being so stoopid. (irony being who would know years later that one of her sons would decide to follow the hare krishnas, thats where openmindedness gets ya folks!!) Anyhow it has fanastic recipes in it and all I do, as I am not a hare krishna and therefore do not care about the garlic or onion thing, is substitute where they say aesafoetida with garlic. Seriously yummy food and most of my friends have at some point borrowed it or written recipes down from it.

 

how it all vegan! and another one i cant recall the name of written by the same two girls. they are funny. and the stuff is tasty.

 

The garden of vegan
I'm going to have to get that sometime.

 

Some good suggestions to follow up and search for. I find that my local bookstore tends to stock a limited number of vegetarian cookbooks so it's good to get some suggestions. I use my copy of the Cranks Bible a lot, and there are a number of great vegetarian recipes (including one for baba ganoush which I had for my lunch today, in a wrap with beansprouts and salad leaves, and will definitely be making again) in Claudia Roden's Middle Eastern Cookery.

 

La Dolce Vegan by Sarah Kramer
Vegan With a Vengeance by Isa Moskowitz (or somethin' like that)
The New Moosewood Cookbook (no fish and most recipes offer vegan substitution ideas for dairy)
Raw - The Uncook Book by Juliano (just recently got this one and I LOVE it - raw/vegan gourmet cuisine that's pretty easy to make, and the book is beautifully designed)

There's plenty more that I have and am forgetting, but these ones are what I use most (although with trying to eat mostly raw I've been using the last one the most lately).
