Yellow Rose Recipes, is on my 'to buy' list - for sure.

I also really like Vegan Vittles, Eat Drink and Be Vegan (great for wheat free stuffs), and The Vegan Lunch Box (awesome picnic ideas). How it all Vegan is pretty good too.

Amber, you are a constant source of information and inspiration. Reading about your lifestyle change and seeing it in action in you motivated me to to ditch the meat!

Smooches! You rock!

I have been a lurker for almost a year now....would love to win!

Have you ever seen the Rebar cookbook? It's my most-used veg*n cookbook ever, from one of my favourite restaurants in my hometown. I eat the Rustic Bread Salad probably once a week in the summer.

I would like to learn how to cook vegetarian meals --- love Indian food =)

Thanks for listing those cookbooks. The hubby and I are on our third week of not eating chicken or beef. We are not vegans or even really vegetarians since we're still eating fish but it's handy to have all these suggestions so I can find new recipes to make. I loved finding the everydaydish.tv site off of yellowrecipes site. :)

If you like Jaffrey's books, take a look at Yamuna Devi's cookbooks (Lord Krishna's Cuisine and Yamuna's Table). Often need veganization (dairy plays a pretty central role), but good 'intermediate' guides to Indian and Indian-inspired cuisines.

Ah, I just discovered your site from Slashfood! Great stuff here for veg*ans. :)

As far as the cookbooks go, The Farm and Vegan with a Vengeance are SO helpful. Unfortunately, I don't own the other ones (yet) and am still on the library wait list for Veganomicon...But, I'll be sure to check them out!

The Veganomicon is SO amazing. Such useful information on everything from cooking grains to what to keep on hand in the cupboard. Love it!

Happy Veganniversary!

I have some of these but thanks for the recommendations on others (I have Veganomicon from the library -- I might as well order it!)

And congrats!

i've heard great things about don't eat off the sidewalk - that's a quality giveaway.

one thing i like about your blog (among plenty of other reasons) is your predilection for isa moskowitz recipes. i love her cooking style.

Hooray for Veg cookbooks!

I have made a couple things from The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen that have been tasty!

Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World is one of my favorites, hands down! Who doesn't love cupcakes? I'm an omnivore with vegetarian leanings, but one of my best friends is a vegan and I never go hungry at her house! Good on you for keeping up with your goal!

I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat a TON of vegetarian cuisine and I love it. I'd love a change to win! Thanks. Love your blog, congrats on the engagement/wedding!!

Newly converted vegan... would love a cookbook!

I recently picked up copies of Vegan Cupakes Take Over the World, Veganomicon and Vegan with a Vengeance. Wonderful books, all! Thanks for the recommendations on the others. I'll add them to my library queue!

Hi, long time reader. First time poster. I'm not a vegan but I'm becoming more mindful of what I am eating and would love some new inspiration. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

I am a vegetarian and my husband would rather eat anything that runs slower than him. He has expressed an interest in eating less meat if I could come up with some great vegetarian meals that would fill him up. Please help my husband get healthier and help me from having to prepare two dinners every night. Really, I need this cook book.

I've been a vegetarian for most of my life, but don't have many cookbooks. so thanks for posting this. hopefully i win the giveaway :)

Awesome! Thanks for all the hot tips! Have been a vego for a good 13 years now but am always teetering on the brink of veganism, andyou're certainly inspiring me to plunge over the edge!

I've been reading your blog for quite some time and I really admire your dedication to eating quality, fresh foods. I've been a vegetarian for about 15 years, but certainly don't eat as healthy as you. Thank you so much for taking the time to list the sources for your great looking entrees!

Man, I've really got to get the Yellow Rose cookbook. I guess I'll add it to the wish list. I've got to second the Vegan Lunchbox and ED&BV. I also love the Vegetarian Soups for All Seasons: Bountiful Vegan Soups and Stews for Every Time of Year. It has an incredible sweet potato, kale, and yellow squash soup that is perfect with cheezy quackers. Mmmmmmmmm.

I'll second "How It All Vegan." Just the chocolate pudding cake and the carrot cake recipes are worth the book.

The book also has recipes for non-food items, non-human food items (like dog biscuits), tips on vegan-izing the rest of your life and a handy glossary of common ingredients/processes that are non-vegan.

I've been a vegetarian for about a year and have slowly been thinking of taking the leap to full blown veganism. I'll be honest, I'm scared. I love seeing your photos and reviews though. I know one day I'll make the change.

Keep up the great work!

Great giveaway!

I'm slowly trying to phase animal products out. Nava Altas's Vegetarian Family Cookbook has been my favorite resource so far.

I picked up VCTOTW about a year ago and have yet to be disappointed. I eat mainly a vegetarian diet, but I will definitely be checking out your recommendations. Thanks!

I would be thrilled to win a copy of Don't Eat Off the Sidewalk. Please enter me, thanks for the contest & vegan cookbook recommendations. I'm definitely getting the Vegan Cupcake one!

My family is vegan and we have Veganomicon and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World and I'm thing about getting Vegan with a Vengeance. I'm not a very good cook but I'm working on it. :)

Thanks for the reccomendations! I find it so funny that my kids resist veggies most of the time, but will ALWAYS eat any vegan dish I make! I REALLY need to get the vegan cupcake book, a must since I LOVE cake, and my poor little boy has a nasty egg allergy. So thanks!

Please enter me...thank you!

I love that vegicom cookbook, I am not a vegan but I enjoy vegan cupcakes and I was wondering how you made the transition. I buy zahiba meat and love mesome grilled lamb and goat. I just like the variety of vegan dishes that are out there it really increases the taste buds so to speak, Thanks for sharing your books :)

Indian Vegetarian Cooking at Your House, my daughter is 12 and a vegetarian so Im trying to find creative ways to get her to eat new and exciting dishes beyond the boca burgers and veggie chili she eats (which, nothing wrong with those but a little boring after awhile!)

Thank you!

I love that you have shared your cookbooks. I cook for some vegans and am always looking for new resources.

Thank you for the recommendations!! I really would like to learn how to cook more vegetarian meals! Thank you for the giveaway!

Ive just started switching over from a 5 yr vegetarian, to vegan. Great post. consider me entered. Its great to see new ideas on cooking esp when youre the only non-meat eater you know.

I'm not vegan, but I've also really loved Isa Chandra's recipes. Veganomicon is next on my list.

That's so cool that your mom lived on The Farm. I had a homebirth, so reading about Ina May Gaskin's _Spiritual Midwifery_, about natural birth on The Farm, was necessary.

veganomicon is a great cookbook..one of my faves! thanks for sharing your other choices!

Thank you for these cookbook suggestions. I am always on the hunt for new Vegan recipes...!!

i'm just getting into this stuff (placing a huge amazon order!), so i'd love to win something!

i think i'm going to get the vegan cupcakes book and make them for the boyfriend and the kids...see if they can tell the difference.

i have 3 of isa's cookbooks listed above :)
great post!

My husband, daughter (10) and I are starting slow - making 1 vegan meal each week. Thanks for the cookbook suggestions - I'm going to check out my local library! Two books I recently purchased that you may be interested in are - Organic Body Care Recipes by Stephanie Tourles and Natural Beauty Recipe Book by Gill Farrer-Halls. My friends and I are going to each pick a recipe, get the ingredients, and get together for an evening of product assembly & beverages!

I really want to see a book of ethiopian and east african vegan recipes. it's too expensive to buy injera every week. I'm going to look for papa tofu.

Hurrah! I want to win one of the cookbooks! Your food always looks SO delicious.

Count me in

Hahaha, i'm entering to win my own zine.

(Obviously I don't expect a copy, but it would be hilarious if I won.)

great list. . .
deborah madison's vegetarian cooking for everyone is also pretty good.

love it love it love it! Thank you!

I'm commenting here too. I did over on the Live Journal side. But I didn't know if it would carry over.

just catching up on all i've missed on your blog the last month or so. sad i missed this giveaway...but thanks for the cookbook recommendations. i've been veg for about 10 years and i'm always looking for new inspiration.
i don't know if you know the sarah kramer series of cookbooks (how it all vegan, etc.). i have to say i use her "garden of vegan" and "la dolce vegan" books about 4 out of 7 meals/week. the recipes are really simple and yummy! can't recommend them highly enough (though i don't have "how it all vegan" i noticed other commenters mention it above).
