From a historical take on vegan Chinese cuisine to recipes from Los Angeles’ most celebrated plant-based restaurants, here are the cookbooks you need to know about
Cookbooks are no longer the sole keepers of vegan recipes. Today, plant-based recipes are everywhere—from blogs to TikTok videos, and Instagram captions to cooking shows on The Food Network. However, the cookbook industry endures. For some, these recipe bibles serve as collectables or eye-catching coffee table pieces; for others, their pages are worn, ripped, and splattered—the telling signs of a much-loved book. No matter where you lie on that spectrum, you’re going to want to get your pre-orders in for these vegan cookbooks coming this fall.
