As part of our holiday cleaning and organizing, we installed these new shelves in the kitchen from the Container Store. It is so wonderful to have all my cookbooks in one place, room to hang my pans, and display some of our pretty ceramics.
The shelves freed up counter space for some new (used) kitchen toys. |
I also gave away a number of cookbooks that no longer fit my lifestyle, and now have a small vegan section. For those of you who have asked about vegan and vegetarian cookbook recommendations:
Alicia Silverstone’s The Kind Diet was sweetly encouraging as I was making the switch over from mostly vegetarian to nearly vegan.
Veganomicon is like the Joy of Cooking for vegans… everything from faux cheese sauce to lasagne can be referenced here.
The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook: Delicious Dairy-Free Cheeses and Classic “Uncheese” Dishes I can make a quick mac and cheese that’s vegan and gluten-free with one of her great sauces.
BabyCakes satisfies all my cupcake and baking desires.
The Artful Vegan is my go-to handbook when I want to do something more elegant or swanky.
And for incredible raw recipes, I turn to I Am Grateful from the folks at Cafe Gratitude in the San Francisco Bay Area.
[…] I am so excited to be able to share this cookbook with you. The author, Nava Atlas, donated a copy of her Wild About Greens cookbook to our Cookies for Cody auction. This one came to me as a review copy, and I wanted to wait until fall to do a giveaway with it. It’s called Vegan Holiday Kitchen: More than 200 Delicious, Festive Recipes for Special Occasions and it’s going on my permanent cookbook shelf. […]

Thank you for a list that includes some books I’ve not heard of before. I have been learning to prepare vegan food for the past year. One book I like is Get It Ripe by Jae Steele. The first third of the book is a highly informative and easy-to-read overview of almost everything I’ve needed to know to become a vegan cook. Plus the recipes are marked according to whether they are gluten-free, soy-free, nightshade-free, or raw.
Jenny, you are so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to say hello and leave a comment. I love hearing from you. This reminds me that I probably need to update my online bookshelf! :)
