So what are some good vegan cookbooks?

What cookbooks do you have and love and really use?

1. I like Recipes from an Ecological Kitchen

by Lorna J. Sass. It's kind of old--1992--so it might be hard to find.

And this is a vegetarian cookbook, not vegan, but most of the recipes are vegan: Lean Bean Cuisine by Jay Solomon. That one's readily available.

I ordered Ecological Kitchen used from an amazon seller. It was in great condition. Looks almost new. I looked through some of the recipes and they look great. Can hardly wait to try some of them. Thank you for recommending it!

4. You're welcome!

I'm glad you're enjoying it. I made the Quick Chick Pea Curry for my carnivorous parents and they loved it. :)

2. Thrive Diet

I have been following some of the diet suggestions from Brendan Brazier, a vegan Canadian Ironman triathelete, and just ordered his cookbook, so I will report back when I get it. His website is:

He has this vegan meal replacement product that uses hemp protein. Info is at:

Here's the cookbook:

5. The Soy of Cooking, vols. 1 and 2

I love these books and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to go vegan (I'm not quite there yet :P ), and would like more ways to serve tofu. I cannot remember who wrote them, but if you search Amazon you'll find them. That's where I bought my copies. Bon appatit!

6. I use the Vegetarian Epicure, Vols. I and II

there are lots of recipes in these two books that are vegan or can easily be converted to vegan.

Every time I am looking for a new/good recipe I look here or, better yet, the 1976 version of "Joy of Cooking" - lots of easy to manipulate recipes in this fine cookbook too! Note: Stay away from any other issues of this cookbook. Sadly, newer issues aren't even close to this one. :)

7. Vegetarian/Vegan, The Passionate Vegetarian

and The New Laurel's Kitchen

I use both quite a bit. :D
