I’m breaking down lists for the best vegan cookbooks in a variety of categories. There is a cookbook for just about everyone out there!
When it comes to cookbooks, finding one that is quality and has more than one recipe you will make over and over can be tricky! There is so much to consider from category, difficultly, type of recipes, etc.
Best Vegan Cookbooks
Cookbooks are a great gift for just about anyone. But finding the right one for the right person is a feat in and of itself. So I am breaking it down, based on the books I know and the reviews I have read and heard from others.
I separated the lists into categories to help make it easier and narrow down your search! However, I couldn’t start this list without my personal favorite, my vegan cookbook! It can fit in many of the following categories, so I’ll just throw it right here at the top, ha!
This is the perfect cookbook for the burger and burrito lover…and also the sauce lover as it has 19 different sauce recipes! If you don’t have it yet, get yourself a copy! It’s whole food based, just like my website, and has a great variety of recipes!
I worked nonstop on weekends and weekdays, while raising three little boys, with a husband who traveled every single week to create the recipes in this book and do all of the photography.

What is the best vegan cookbook?
Calling something the best is so relative, but when it comes to an overall vegan cookbook, this is a list of some of my favorites. I tried to think about a variety of things when making this list so that there is something for everyone:
- user friendly
- types of ingredients
- gluten free
- veggie heavy
- classics made vegan
- cost of recipes
Here is what I came up with based on my own experience and the reviews from others!

Any time you are trying something new it can be overwhelming. Especially when it comes to cooking. Learning how to make vegan recipes is like learning a whole new type of cooking.

What is the best niche vegan cookbook?
Sometimes you want a more focused cookbook, one that specifies on one thing, much like my cookbook above. So I put together a list of vegan cookbooks that are focused, there is definitely something for everyone on this list!
Remember that these books have recipes surrounding their subjects, however they may have a range of things. Much like my cookbook is focused on burgers and burritos, I still have sides, sauces and even desserts within that category!
