Afro-Vegan

Chef Bryant Terry is back with another vegan cookbook, this time a fusion of southern, African, and Caribbean cuisines.

Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

Originally published in 1997 and updated for a 10th anniversary edition, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone has long been one of my favorite cookbooks. Deborah Madison cooked at Chez Panisse before founding Greens in 1979, a landmark restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though she is not a vegetarian, Deborah Madison knows good food, knows how to cook it, and, most importantly, knows how to teach others to do the same.
