These days, my shelves are packed with some seriously wonderful vegan cookbooks, many of them gifted to me by well-meaning relations. Here, find some of the best vegan cookbooks to add to any personal library. One thing to note, when you’re looking for a cookbook for beginner vegans, it’s best to find one that’s either full of simple, accessible recipes, or one that helps provide recipes to swap in for former favorites.
