what are your favourite vegan cookbooks? preferably ones i can buy on ebay or amazon, and i'd really like UK ones if possible because sometimes in the US ones i cant get a lot of the ingredients.:)
i own one vegan cookbook, the soy of cooking. i got it at a garage sale :P i really want more though--specifically la dolce vegan, veganomicon, and vegan cupcakes take over the world.
Veganomicon is a great resource. It not only gives you recipes, it also gives you instructions on how to cook rice, soak beans, grill veggies...it has a wealth of information. It also has a TON of recipes! I highly recommend it. Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World is awesome! I think I've made half the cupcakes in there! Omnis can't even tell the difference, I swear. Try checking a few out of the library and see which ones you like.
Besides the ones already mentioned, I really like the How It All Vegan series, and Vegan Cooking For One by Leah Leneman (the latter is a UK book as well).
I love love love Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison.
It's not vegan, but the book offers SEVERAL alternatives and recipes that are vegan.
Veganomicon is indispensable! I also like The Vegan Handbook. Some of the info is a little outdated, and there are some terribly corny poems and such, but the recipes are varied, appealing, and simple with pretty basic and minimal ingredients. And you don't even have to buy it, as you can look at nearly the whole thing on that google books site!
The following are on my amazon wishlist (too bad I don't have anyone to buy them for me, haha):
Pure and Simple (vegan, MSG and gluten free)
The Complete Vegan Kitchen "An Introduction to Vegan Cooking with More than 300 Delicious Recipes-from Easy to Elegant" (Incidentally written by the head chef of the kitchen where I work)
I'm pretty much in love with "Yellow Rose Recipes". I've made probably 15 things from there and all of it was amazing.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned Vegan With A Vengeance! One of the classics!
There are tons and tons of good ones, but my current fave is from my favourite vegan restaurant: The native foods cookbook. Yum.
If you like pictures (and who doesn't?) Check out My Sweet Vegan and Great Chefs Cook Vegan. Food porn, big time.
If you can only get one, though, just get Veganomicon. It's awesome.
