How many on here own vegetarian/vegan cookbooks?

I have two vegetarian cookbooks - but usually go for just the regular cookbook and alter recipes to fit my dietary needs. Have had no problems with doing that.

At 54 - it doesn't take much for me to figure out how to adapt any recipe. It isn't like I am just learning to cook.

I have nearly 10 vegan cookbooks, some printouts from the internet, and recipes from Vegetarian Times.

I do most of my cooking from books and I try to make a brand new recipe every two-three days.

Some of the books I own:

Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook

Veganomicon

How It All Vegan!

La Dolce Vegan

The Garden of Vegan

The Veggie Lover's Cookbook

Student's Go Vegan Cookbook

Vegan With a Vengeance

Vegan World Fusion Cuisine

The Complete Guide to Raw Foods

Sinfully Vegan

I have "The Uncheese Cookbook" and "Vegan Fire and Spice" on order.

By the way, my favorite book so far with the best recipes is the "Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook" by Robin Robertson. Everything I have made in there is great.

The only cookbooks I ever had were gourmet-ish ones. All the stuff was extremely difficult to make and called for hard to find ingredients.

I never found any better ones, but I really didn't look much either.

I prefer to find recipes on the internet and on here because I like tried and true recipes. That's why when I ask people for a good recipe I never choose an answer if it's just a link to a recipe website. I can google "vegetarian recipes" on my own.

I really can't afford to do too much experimenting on my cooking because our grocery budget is not very high.

I'd rather ask you because you have tried more recipes:)

"More With Less" Not strictly a vegetarian cookbook but there are many many vegetarian recipes. There are more than enough recipes using legumes, grains, and vegetables that I have used frequently. Most of the ingredients used are very accessible. I love the fact that the recipes require whole foods, and its great to get ideas from around the world. This book is a collaboration of recipes from the international Mennonite community and has been in publication for over 25 years.

I have about 5 vegetarian cookbooks, including the following:

Vegan With A Vengenace

Vegan Fire & Spice

Buddha's Table

Flavors of Korea

Vegan Baking

But just like you, I also collect recipes online as well as posting them. Check out my recipes at http://www.vegtaste.com/main/archive.php?tag=recip... with pictures. :)

I have quite a few veg cookbooks, and I also check a couple of websites when I'm in the need for a good recipe. I have one omni cookbook I got years ago, and I've veganized some of the meaty recipes.

I have a shelf full of them; I bought my first vegetarian recipe book in 1969 - I can see it on the shelf from where I'm sitting: Modern Vegetarian Cookery by Walter and Jenny Fliess. I pretty much learned to cook from it.

I still buy vegan cook books from time to time and I've found a few good recipes on the internet; but I don't use recipes that much any more.

55, since we're fessing up about our ages

I got a bunch of ethnic cookbooks. There are tons of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Indian, and Eastern European foods that are completely meat free and that don't have identity problems like some of the foods in vegetarian cookbooks.

They are not meant to taste like meat, they taste good by themselves

I've got 4 cookbooks and a lot of transcribed recipes.

I have...around 10, I think. Not that many veggie cookbooks are available in Norwegian, and getting the ingredients / measurements right can sometimes be a bit...challenging with the English / American ones.
