these 3 have inspired me the very most of all cookbooks i've gone through. i don't follow recipes unless i'm making something out of the ordinary like baked goods, but when i do, these are my go-to books. they are a manageable size, which i feel is important. once they pass 400 pages, cookbooks become unwieldy and just plain overwhelming. you don't need 3 pizza dough recipes! just the basics and maybe an alternative here and there. i digress. if you like structure in your life or feel a cookbook would be the best way for you to start/maintain "the lifestyle" (what can i call it that contains fewer than 5 words??) then by all means make them your bible. no shame in following recipes. i do hope you will try something of your own, though!
1. "how it all vegan" by sarah kramer and tanya barnard. practical and easy recipes, and is fairly comprehensive in terms of other ways to live vegan. drawback is that there are no pictures, so sometimes it's hard to tell what you're making.
2. "vegan soul kitchen" by bryant terry. good for the hearty foods addict as a transition into a plant-based diet. the recipes are interesting, as he really integrates african-american traditional cuisine.
3. "vegan with a vengeance" by isa chandra moskowitz. because it's written by a punk, the recipes are cheap. they're practical and easy but also really innovative.
