Favorite cookbooks?
I have a little extra money and want to get a cookbook or two to add to my collection. I would really be interested in your four or five favorites and why you like them. Seems like a better idea to ask people who have actually used them. These are mine.
Broke Vegan - Simple yet interesting recipes. Lots of good information about what you need to have in your pantry.
Vegan Soul Food Cookbook - If you like Southern food you will love this.
Cravings Made Vegan - Lots of cook recipes that non vegans will love. And, likely won't even realize are vegan.
Homemade Vegan Pantry - Lots of good recipes and how to make your own pantry stables.
Lord Krishna's Cuisine - If you like Indian food you will LOVE this one. It's separated by regions and has pretty much any Indian recipe you will ever need. It is a massive book, but totally worth it.
Vegan Mexico - Very well done cookbook by a non Mexican who really did his homework. Easy to make meals with ingredients that are mostly easy to find. He also has one called Vegan Tacos that is also good, but this one does have tacos too, but lots of other Mexican recipes as well.
Thug Kitchen – The foul language gets old fast, but the cookbook is solid, good recipes, fun to read for a while.
Cook the Pantry - Vegan Pantry to Plate Recipes in 20 Minutes - Another good one for organizing your pantry. Quick and easy but super tasty meals.
I Can Cook Vegan - One of the very best, everyone should have this book, lots of great recipes and cooking tips and fun to read.
Vegan Richas Everyday Kitchen - This book has a little bit of everything, breakfast, sandwiches and lots of ethnic foods from around the world. She also has a totally Indian cookbook that is also good, Vegan Richas Indian Kitchen.
Tahini and Turmeric - Middle Eastern recipes. Some of the ingredients are not the easiest to get, but if you live in an area with a spice shop or ethnic groceries you should be OK. The recipes are totally worth it.
The Best Veggie Burgers on the Planet - The only burger cook you will ever need.
Last but certainly not least - three bean cookbooks. The Beans and Grains Bible, Bean by Bean, Cool Beans, and Vegan Beans Around the World. Though there is some overlap there are enough unique recipes to get them all.
