My fave (that is crusted all the way through because it's been used so much) is called the Compassionate Cook..it is awesome...the recipes are SO EASY, it explains a lot...so many delicious things in there!

http://www.amazon.ca/Compassionate-Cook-Animals-Vegetarian-Cookbook/dp/0446394920

I just got a new one that I see mentioned on blogs all the time "Veganomicon"...can't wait to read it and start trying stuff. :)

Julia,

What are some dishes you enjoy from there? I cannot seem to find any sample pages online. Very bizzare going to a .ca instead of a .com :)

Some of the recipes I've made many, many times include:

-a rockin' (super easy) delicious lentil soup (there are lots of good soups in there)
-tofu *** pie (I've made it for self-proclaimed tofu haters and they loved it and said the tofu could have actually been chicken)
-spicy peanut pasta sauce (again, super easy and SO GOOD!)
-vegan stroganoff
-"cheesy" macaroni casserole
-broccoli & rice casserole

Oh, so many. They have a bunch of great salad dressings, appetizers (eggless egg salad, veg pate, hummus etc etc).

I just love it!

My sister bought this book for me for Christmas. It's pretty good :wink:

These ladies make vegan cookbooks but they are all good even for non-vegans.

The Veganomicon by Isa Moskowitz is awesome.

My absolute fave - World Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffery

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MSQ6KPH9L._SL500_AA240_.jpg

Any of her cookbooks are top-notch. I've learned all of my authentic Indian recipes from her, her directions are clear and concise and the food comes out AMAZING!!!

I can't suggest getting any of her cookbooks enough!

Outside of that, Moosewood has some awesome collections that almost ever library has on their shelves.

Happy cooking and feasting!

Oh, also the ReFresh cookbook... Written by the folks who bring you the awesome food at FRESH here in the T-dot. Lots of smoothie/juice recipes as well:

I mostly wing it these days, but I have a soft spot in my heart for the Moosewood cookbooks. :)

me too...and i LOVE 'Sundays at Moosewood' - more ethnic-y than the others, which suits our preferences. :thumbup:

mostly, though, i use 'regular' cookbooks and recipes and just adapt them to vegetarian/vegan using whatever proteins make the most sense and subbing soy milk or nutritional yeast for milk or cheese as needed.

[musicmomma]

totally thug, i've started making all my normal meals just without meat. gonna have cheesesteaks tonight! :drool:
