The Vegan Chinese Kitchen by Hannah Che has been a favorite of mine this year. Every recipe I’ve tried from it tastes phenomenal. Great balance of quick/simple vs more complex/rewarding recipes.
I love the Veganomicon. It’s one I can just sit down and read and the recipes are top notch.
I’ve only tried out about 3 or 4 recipes from my copy, but they all have been excellent.
I love the how not to die and how not to diet books. It was my first pick based solely on the large colored photos of the food on every other page. 1/2 recipe. 1/2 picture of the book.
Definitely Plants only kitchen by Gaz Oakley. Whatever we prepared from this book was amazing and many of the recipes are relatively easy. And it has nice photos of foods!
While the recipes in there are not the fanciest, none other of my cookbooks has gotten as much use as “Easy Vegan Comfort Meals” by Derek Simnett. A lot of the recipes your can actually find on his YouTube channel (https://YouTube.com/@SimnettNutrition).
However, I have to say that none of the desserts look that appealing, so I’ve never made any. Maybe I just need to try some, though.
Salad Samurai is my favourite! I also like Vegan for Everybody.
i love the essential book of vegan bakes! As someone who really enjoys baking and found it hard to bake after going vegan, this book has held my hand through finding appropriate vegan substitutes and methods for baking specifically. I’d recommend any of the cupcakes and the double chocolate cookies!
I love Bosh!. It has some great dishes for a dinner party, but also some simple things like Hummus and Baba Ganoush.
Baba Ganoush. Simple?
I bought “The Asian Vegan Kitchen” by Hema Parekh over ten years ago and it’s still the first one that comes to mind.
The one you mentioned in the OP looks great too, probably going to get it too…
I have a ton of cookbooks and I never really use any of them except the New Farm Vegetarian (it’s vegan, not vegetarian, written in the 70’s) Cookbook by Louise Hagler.
My most recent favourite is Green Levantine Cuisine by Laith Abdel Hader. Lots of great recipes and I appreciated learning a bit about the cultural significance of each one as well. I’ve reviewed it on my ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/post/Green-Levantine-Cuisine-by-Laith-Abdel-Hader--Fre-P5P6KYX1I
