    Recommendations: Vegan Style Cook Books??

    I am looking for any good vegan style cookbooks. I keep hearing and reading about how they have all of these delicious recipes with vegetables and non-meat entrees.

    While I admit it's hard to phantom a life of no beef/chicken/steak in a daily diet, I'd like to give a few recipes a try. I figure it can't hurt to get a more diverse diet, especially considering I am not much of a fish eater. I have never cared for seafood.

    Fire away ladies.

      Not sure if you mean vegan or vegetarian or some other variation.

      I'm a vegetarian that will eat dairy products but nothing else derived from animals.

      Haven't bought a cookbook in many years due to the information provided by the internet.

      Couple of sites to get you started.

          Vegan sucks, vegetarian is ok, Daughter does that, eats eggs and milk and cheese.
          Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
          think about that

              I honestly couldn't tell you the difference as I am neither.

              I guess I am looking for some recipes or a cookbook where you are working in more vegetables into your diet for your meals. Assume I am at ground zero in the learning curve. I want to see if any of this stuff looks good, and if so, try and work more into a weekly menu on some level.

              Thank you for the links.

                  Than I would guess... based on that reply I must be thinking "vegetarian" over vegan.

                      some interesting ones on here http://whfoods.com/recipestoc.php#vegetarian

                      I'm not a vegetarian but love some vegetarian dishes. Switching things up makes it easier to eat healthy i find.

                      Have you given up on seafood completely? I find most people who don't like it usually aren't eating it at the right places. Although it's tough finding fresh stuff in our parts..

                                  I cook most of my own food from scratch but love Flame Grilled Boca Burgers plus some of their other products.

                                  Quorn also makes some decent stuff.

                                      When I was a little, I used to eat some Bass and Blue Gill. Basically the stuff we caught on the lake my uncle would cook up for us. I also recall a little snapping turtle and fishlegs. But for some reason, I just grew out of it. I do not mind tuna, and can eat that in moderation. My GF has me nibbling on some cod on occasion from her fish and chips meal. But that is really about it.

                                      I do not like that "fishy" taste. Although I still do try and work some into my diet, like tuna, as they claim it's good for you. I can't tolerate it more than 1-2 times a week however.

                                      That being said, I have managed to get the daily fruit worked in between smoothies and what not. I now want to work in some more veggies, and cut out some of the meat. I figure every little bit helps and it's all about moderation.

                                          I went to a vegan restaurant, food was very bland. I thought the desserts looked good. Have a chocolate cake looking thing with a caramel topping. I gagged, they don't use milk, the caramel topping was salty, it was dry to boot! Nasty!!!

                                              It looks like there will be no Veganzilla.

                                                  You can just eat a cookbook for the vegan experience as that's about what the vegan dishes I've tried a few times taste like.

                                                          My wife is vegetarian. It's helped to including some really good and healthy stuff into our diet. I don't have an recipes handy, but I'd recommend looking for recipes with quinoa or lentils. Avoid ones that just look like a salad... too boring.

                                                          edit: things like quinoa or lentils add protein and make it a meal

                                                              Amazing how many dishes there are where you just take out the meat

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                                          my favorite meat substitute is Yves Crumbles (better than Morning Star, imho)
                                                                                          I also use almond milk in place of regular milk (I like it better than soy milk)
                                                                                          Egg Replacer is good for when you want to go total vegan and the recipe calls for eggs. It takes some practice getting used to the right measurements though.

                                                                                          for veggie burgers, you can't beat Boca Burgers

                                                                                          for faux chicken, Qorn has really good Chix breasts

                                                                                          Whole Foods even has vegan shrimp. It's a little on the chewy side though.

                                                                                          For meatless sausage, Morning Star is really good.

                                                                                                                      I'm vegetarian. Personally I tend to prefer normal recipes that don't happen to include meat vs. "vegetarian" recipes. Things like:

                                                                                                                      Pizza with onions, basil, etc.
                                                                                                                      Cheese enchiladas
                                                                                                                      Spaghetti with marinara
                                                                                                                      Fettuccine alfredo
                                                                                                                      Bean and cheese burrito or chalupa
                                                                                                                      Baked potato (with Bacos)

                                                                                                                      Notice no tofu on the list! These are all things anyone might order in a restaurant, not specifically for vegetarians.

                                                                                                                      Vegetarian cookbooks consistently seem to add in tofu, mushrooms, or various vegetables where they are neither needed nor tasty. For example chili. Chili is pinto, black, or kidney beans, tomatoes, chilies, seasoning, and meat. If you make it without the meat, why the hell do recipes add cucumbers or carrots? Just use two kinds of beans instead of choosing one.

                                                                                                                      Come to think of it, black beans instead of meat works well in a lot of things, including tacos.
