As I've said before, I have a ton of cookbooks. It's kind of sad, but one of my favorite past times is reading cookbooks. I know other bloggers read cookbooks too, so that makes me feel a lot better. Anyway, some of the cookbooks I own are definitely not vegan or even vegetarian, but I like modifying the recipes to be vegan (I'm always up for a challenge!). I'm not going to list the unvegan ones, because if I did this list would be about 50 pages, but I am going to list the vegetarian and/or vegan cookbooks that I own (although I'm not going to go into descriptions). If you own any of the ones on my list, I'm curious about your opinions. I know that the books by Sarah Kramer, either by herself or with Tanya Bernard, have very mixed reviews, but of course I'm talking about all of the books on my list. Please note that this is a work in progress, so I'll be adding others on to it as I A) get more or B) find them (because as you cookbook junkies know having a lot of cookbooks is not so orderly. Or wait, is that just me?). Also, the ones with the asterisk next to them are ones I own but haven't yet used. Since this is already a long list, I don't want to make it longer by adding descriptions, so I'll do individual posts about each book in the future.

I'd be interested in hearing about the North African vegan cookbook.
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who read cookbooks... I'm a little embarassed to admit that I have as many cookbooks on my nightstand as I do fiction novels right now!
I too read cookbooks like novels. Everyone called me strange, but I knew that somewhere out there there where people like me.
Thank Goodness! :)
You have a lot of titles that really interest me, especially the Macrobiotic book... I have always wanted to learn more about Macrobiotics!
I too have 100s of cookbooks. I wanted to recommend that you cook from Real Food Daily. I went to a cooking class awhile back where Ann Gentry cooked an amazing meal from her book in 3 hours - the cream of broccoli soup, lentil pate, spinach lasagna, barley salad, garlicky greens, and choc chip cookies. And as if you needed more cookbooks, I recommend Alice Waters' "Chez Panisse Vegetables" and also the book I use the most, "The Vegetarian Family Cookbook" by Nava Atlas.
