Vegan cooking is a lot easier when you have a few trusted recipes to follow. Here’s my list of go-to vegan cookbooks. I don’t recommend buying them all at once or you’ll easily become overwhelmed. Choose one or two that seem to fit your needs and go from there!

If you’re interested in vegetarian cooking as well, be sure to check out my list of the best vegetarian cookbooks.

The Best Vegan Cookbooks

Vegan Cookbook for Beginners

Just what it says, the perfect vegan cookbook for beginners.

Veganomicon

This is the first cookbook I ever grabbed when I dabbled into vegan cooking, and it was a good one. The recipes are smart and delicious, but may be a bit of a stretch for those just transitioning to a vegan diet.

Vegetable Kingdom

This book is brimming with delicious meal ideas (for real, try the black rice!), and don’t hesitate to put on the accompanying Spotify playlist while you’re cooking to really get in the mood.

The Oh She Glows Cookbook

This one comes from a trusted vegan blogger. All of her recipes are beautiful, approachable, and delicious.

Forks Over Knives Cookbook

Forks Over Knives frequently produces some of the most trustworthy recipes out there. Almost every one I’ve tried has been delicious and ridiculously healthy.

Minimalist Baker’s Everyday Cooking

Yet another blogger cookbook, but if you’ve been eating vegan for any period of time you definitely have a favorite Minimalist Baker recipe. It’s great to have their recipes in print for easy access at home.

No Meat Athlete Cookbook

A great collection of recipes for the vegan athlete, and it’s amazing to see what can be accomplished on a plant-based diet!

Isa Does It

Yes, Isa gets two spots on the list. Easy, trustworthy recipes made fast. Can’t beat that!

Sweet Potato Soul

If your love for southern food is making it difficult for you to transition to a vegan diet, this is a trusted resource for making over your favorites.
