Mississippi vegan,
They understand how much garlic is needed
Big Veg Energy by Christina Soteriou
Michael Greger’s ‘How Not to Die Cookbook’
and
Vegan Richa’s ‘Indian Kitchen’I neeeeed someone to try Thee Burger Dude’s new cookbook. It looks like an absolute dreamm ;-;
I make fried chickn from that dudes website. Its one of the best ive made. So I’ll have to check out the book.
I don’t usually like cookbooks, but i enjoy the seitanic spellbook
Salt Fat Acid Heat. No, it isn’t explicitly vegan, but it was instrumental in me being a good enough cook to improv vegan stuff and have it taste awesome.
For me it is a german book called “Immer schon vegan” being about stuff that always was cooked vegan from all over the world. I do not know if it available in english
Our faves are “The Vegan Chinese Kitchen” and “The Korean Vegan Cookbook”. Also https://redhousespice.com/ has amazing vegan recipes.
ive cooked from both of these and definitely second them as recommendations. the vegan chinese kitchen is my favorite by far, probably because it had a larger variety of ingredients that were new to me and easily accessed at two high quality asian markets nearby.
I can also vouch that they taste very authentic. I have been to China and my wife has been there multiple times.
Big Vegan Flavor by leaps and bounds is the best. My non vegan partner has raved about the recipes.
I loved the name, but everything I ever made from the Veganomicon wound up in the garbage. Tasteless mash.
Even before going vegan, America’s Test Kitchen was always my go-to when learning about a new dish/recipe. Their vegan cookbook is great.
I just cook whatever is in season and eat it plain.
Yeah, I generally rely on the rainbowplantlife website more than a book. I will say the original Bad Manners cookbook had a really good wedding soup recipe. The recipes are basic for someone who has been vegan for a while, but it’s good if you’re just transitioning recently.
Any ones that are available online for free?
I’m personally not a fan of following recipes, but my wife loves cookbooks. A few of her go to are:
Veganomicon - By Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero
And The How Not to Die Cookbook By Michael Greger, Gene Stone
I prefer cooking suggestions or inspiration than actual recipes. Recipes result in buying 10 ingredients and using a fraction of each, then having a load of things left over.
Suggestions can be adapted to better fit what I already have. Or if it differs too much then I might pick another that is a closer fit.
Something like ready steady cook, a UK cooking TV programme. Contestants given a bag of ingredients and have to make something with it. THAT is the kind of cooking I want to be better at.
Yeah, I wish there was an easier way to distinguish what I’d call actual “cook books” from the vast sea of “recipe compilations”.
I.e., books that go over techniques, but then maybe just give some recipes as examples.
The Wok by Kenji Lopez-Alt fits that description perfectly. It is a massive book, filled with a lot of technique and explanations, and additional recipes.
A similar book is Salt Acid Fat Heat by Samin Nosrat. She also has a short Netflix docu where she dives into depth about each part. It has accompanying recipes, but the main focus is on the know how and techniques.
Lol, 2 of the books that I own cause they do this well.
Might take a look next time I have some free time around the library. Shame I usually end up in that situation on days they are closed.
Then again I think there is one not too far from where I work, hour long lunch break with very little else to do.
Yeah, I tend to get cookbooks from the library a lot.
I just donated my veganomicon last weekend. I never found a recipe in there I liked.
