Veg*n Cookbooks/Recipies

[{aspiring_to_clarity}]

Okay, I didn't do a search to see if this has already come up, but what are your favorite veg*n cookbooks? Lately I have not been cooking AT ALL as my ex was a fabulous cook and he spoiled me. But ordering in has proved disasterous for my waistline!

I want quick, healthy meals that don't require a ton of specialized ingredients. I am stinkin tired when I get home from work too, so I don't want to spend all evening cooking (then again maybe I am so tired because of how I am eating).

Or, if anyone has any recipies, I am all ears. Soups and other things I can freeze for quick lunches for work would be great. Thanks.

Edit: PS, Erin, I would like to get Vegan Family Favorites...is it still for sale?

Thanks, Erin, I meant to get these a while ago actually

[Erin Pavlina]

Really? Is that what it says? That does not sound familiar whatsoever. I better go look into that.

[Dan.Linehan]

Well, thats what paypal said, whats wrong with it?

It was just from my confirmation screen..

[Erin Pavlina]

Oh yeah, we're fine. That was your paypal receipt. That's not how my credit card receipt looks. It's cool. Your books are in the mail.

Here are the ones i love

Vegan family favorites: lots of good simple stuff. Its one of my favorites

Amazon.com: Vegan World Fusion Cuisine : Over 200 award-winning recipes, Dr. Jane Goodall Foreword, Third Edition: Books: Mark Reinfeld,Bo Rinaldi
This one is full of vegan recipes including raw food. This quickly became my favorite cook book. I just love it. It is also beautiful to look at. I will say tho, this is more for a weekend cook book and for someone already used to the flavors Vegans tend to eat.

Amazon.com: The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook: Delicious Dairy-Free Cheeses and Classic "Uncheese" Dishes: Books: Jo Stepaniak

I like this one because i like cheese. Well i used to like cheese, now real cheese grosses me out, but i like the flavor you can add with uncheese including pizza, mac and uncheese, uncheese everything even fondu. Some of these recipes are easy, but the nice thing about this cookbook is that almost everything can be made in bulk and kept for a while, so you always have it on hand like vegan parmesan.

Amazon.com: Vice Cream: Over 70 Sinfully Delicious Dairy-Free Delights: Books: Jeff Rogers
Vice Cream is an awesome replacement for ice cream. I am now buying an ice cream maker with a compressor in it. It has raw and vegan vice creams. I no longer need to by sorbet or anything like that in the store. Its really easy too. Basically he tells you what you need. You put it all in a blender and blend it really really well (powerful blender is essential for this cookbook) and then dump it in the ice cream maker (ice cream makers is also essential.) Its so easy and oh so good.

Amazon.com: Raw Food Made Easy For 1 or 2 People: Books: Jennifer Cornbleet
This is nice and easy and simple. Basic ingredients that you can get anywhere.

For simple easy weekday meals I also use the website Vegan / Vegetarian Recipes and More for the Vegan Diet and Lifestyle a lot. Its free and they have awesome recipes as well as countless variations from readers.

Thanks, Adrienne! I will take a look at all of those. Eating more raw sounds great, so that particular one stands out.

Earlier this week someone recommended the vegetarian books by Deborah Madison to me. Perhaps folks here have some experience with her writing and her food.

Deborah Madison: Bookshelf

[shananigans]

I would have to say Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz is my most used cookbook. Some of the recipes are available on the Post Punk Kitchen website. The Post Punk Kitchen: Vegetarian cooking & vegan baking with no attitude

I also use Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Whole Foods but Where Afraid to Ask by Christina Pirello quite a bit. She also has a cooking show and a website. Christina Cooks - Home Page

There are many vegan food blogs that I get recipes and inspiration from. I have some of my favorites linked in the sidebar on my blog. Your Sweet Bippy

Thank you very much. I will look into all of these.
