The Vegan Table

The Vegan Table by Colleen Patrick-Goodreau is an incredible cookbook. Every recipe is excellent. My other go to books are Robin Robertson's 1000 Vegan Recipes, or Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.

Favorite Veggie Cookbook

Linda McCartney's first cookbook - it got me started cooking vegetarian. I can tell it is my favorite because it has the most food stains!
—Guest Laura Huddleston

Vegan Recipes from the Heart

My favorite is my beautiful full color Nut-Free Vegan Cookbook. My love for travel inspired the international flavors from Latin America, Asia, the Mediterranian and America, which I have adapted for vegans without nuts. The beautiful color images show these meals are a feast for the eye as well as the palate.

The Everything Vegan Cookbook

My new favorite cookbook is my own cookbook, The Everything Vegan Cookbook! It's full of all my favorite personal recipes, and some fantastic dishes that I had so much fun creating for the book. Love it!

Best Vegetarian Cookbooks

In my opinion Harvey and Marilyn Diamond's Fit for Life books and cookbooks.
—Guest Desire

Vegan Express by Nava Atlas

I'm a new vegetarian in a very un-veg-friendly city and Vegan Express was the first cookbook I got. Some of the ingredients are hard to come by (for me) but they truly are quick and easy to prepare AND are super tasty!
