Vegan cookbook list

I created a vegan cookbook list in the hope we can all share some favourites: https://www.librarything.com/list/46282/all/Vegan-cookbooks

>1 AnitaNgaire: Thank you, that list looks great. Here in Los Angeles county, CA, a local TV station interviewed a new author a few weeks ago about recipes from her new vegan cookbook:

My favorite recipe of hers so far is Tofu Dough, which makes great dumplings for any soup, and can also be used for something she calls "snipped pasta," on and on. This is one of the most creative vegan cookbooks I have ever seen.

>2 MaureenRoy: thank you for the recommendation, Maureen. I'm always on the look out for a good Vegan cookbook and using tofu in new ways.

>2 MaureenRoy: I borrowed that book recently and have a negative visceral reaction to who ever decided on the photo styling. The biggest reaction is the photo of syrup being poured over her hand. *turns green* Why? WHY? And how is a syrup or sauce pouring onto a table appealing? Also, who decided on the funky fonts? They are nearly illegible. All of that leads to me never wanting to recommend her book even if some of the recipes are appealing.

Everyone, I agree that some of the artwork and photos used in Halle Burns' 2025 book Call Me Vegan are jarring, and yes, some of its font choices are hard to read, and the "fun" photo of syrup dripping off someone's hand is completely inappropriate. Further, the recipe for Baby Carrot Fries uses a similar procedure to famed Italian cook Marcella Hazen's technique for frying vegetables. But, if I had to limit my cookbook collection to styles and content close to my own lifestyle choices, about 1/3 of my cookbooks would go out the window, including Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Xi'an Famous Foods (by Jason Wang), most of the modern "colonial" style cookbooks, many Armenian cookbooks, and vintage macrobiotic cookbooks that use unavailable ingredients or have overly optimistic whole grain bread recipes whose results fail even as doorstops.

What to do? I keep in mind that it's not a perfect world + any cookbooks showing a healthier way to go are worth hanging onto.
