I’m personally not a fan of following recipes, but my wife loves cookbooks. A few of her go to are: Veganomicon - By Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero And The How Not to Die Cookbook By Michael Greger, Gene Stone

Recipes for a Small Planet; Not totally vegan, and got it from my grandma so it’s old af. It’s also kinda the original vegetarian permaculture cookbook. I don’t have it’s companion book, Diet for a Small Planet.

You don’t need a vegan cookbook, you just need Middle Eastern and South Asian cookbooks.

Big fan of Big Vegan Flavor, we signed up for her ‘year of meal plans’ thing and now if we don’t know what we want for the week yet before going shopping we just pick one that sounds good and the shopping list is already made. Not technically a cookbook though, I guess.

Big Vegan Flavor by leaps and bounds is the best. My non vegan partner has raved about the recipes. I loved the name, but everything I ever made from the Veganomicon wound up in the garbage. Tasteless mash.

Not vegan (sorry), but I thought The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen by Peter Berley was really good. Not all recipes are vegan, but most (all iirc) of them also have a vegan variant.

“How it all Vegan” is great, and also one about vegan Italian cooking by Chloe Coscarelli.

Salt Fat Acid Heat. No, it isn’t explicitly vegan, but it was instrumental in me being a good enough cook to improv vegan stuff and have it taste awesome.
