Cookbooks (long)

[Guest guest]

Being a cookbookaholic, I thought I'd chime in! As an

FYI, you can get really cheap veg cookbooks from

www.healthy-eating.com. The website is run by The

Farm--click on their discount section and save 50% or

more on cookbooks! Some of my favorites, in no

particular order (all vegan unless noted):

 

Anything by Joanne Stepaniak. Vegan Vittles is a

classic and is a great starter cookbook--we cook from

it regularly! The Uncheese Cookbook is tasty too,

especially the Gee Whiz, Unprocessed Cheeze Sauce &

Betta Feta. I also recommend her book Saucy

Vegetarian. The idea in this book is to combine a

whole grain, vegetable and bean/tofu and top with a

sauce. It's a very versatile cookbook!

 

Anything by Bryanna Clark Grogan. My favorite of hers

is The Almost Fat-Free Cookbook. It lives up to it's

name! The Light and Easy Muffins are especially good.

Nonna's Italian Kitchen is awesome too, as is

Authentic Chinese Cuisine.

 

The Shoshoni Cookbook by Anne Saks & Faith Stone.

Great dals, mushroom stroganoff, enchiladas,

spanikopita & empanadas. I haven't tried most of

their desserts, but the entrees are all fabulous!

I've used this book so much that I need to tape the

pages back in.

 

The Passionate Vegetarian by Crescent Dragonwagon (NOT

vegan). Almost all of the recipes are easy to

veganize and there are over 1,000 recipes in the book!

Her recipes for Buckaroo Beans and Boston Baked Beans

are wonderful. I haven't been disappointed yet by a

recipe.

 

Lorna Sass' Complete Vegetarian Kitchen (and Great

Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure if you have a

pressure cooker). Lots of inventive and simple

recipes that are focused on whole grains. Her soups

are fantastic.

 

I also second the recommendation for How It All Vegan

& the Garden of Vegan. Their recipes are fairly

simple and accessible. I always have to tweak the

spices though--many of their recipes are too bland for

me.

 

When you want to make fancier meals, Millennium's

cookbooks are a good choice, as is The Voluptous

Vegan. Be prepared for a full afternoon in the

kitchen with either of these though! I've also heard

wonderful things about the cookbooks from Candle Cafe

and Angelica Kitchen, but I don't own them (yet).
