10 of the best vegan cookbooks

Looking for plant-based recipe inspiration? Look no further - by Lottie Dalziel

10 of the best vegan cookbooks

Contrary to popular belief there’s nothing bland about a vegan or plant-based diet. With the right recipes, you can create some of your most fragrant and flavoursome meals yet. So for all of the vegans out there or those who are just looking to dip their toes in with a recipe here and there, here’s our list of the best vegan cookbooks.

Before we get down to the plant-based goodness, why is veganism having a moment? People have been following a vegan diet for many centuries now but recently more and more people are transitioning to being plant-based full-time. 

vegan

As per The Vegan Society, veganism is defined as: “[A] philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude – as far as is possible and practicable – all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms, it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.”

One of the biggest stigmas around the vegan diet was that for men in particular it was almost impossible to eat enough protein. That myth has been obliterated with new celebrities announcing their transition to a plant-based diet daily. Take Game Changers for example, the new Netflix documentary which showcases elite athletes and celebrities like James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Chris Paul  all who have made the switch to the green stuff full time.

Pardon the detour let’s get back to the cookbooks. Psst... you can also check out our vegan recipes.
