is 1000 veg recipes good? Easy for non egg eaters?

[425lisamarie]

Would this be a good book for vegan recipes? My kids are not, but I am mostly, I don't do dairy which is usually an easy fix, and I don't like to use eggs in baking and sparingly otherwise. I like the Moosewood books but I'm kind of burnt out of the same style of everything and want something new. Or another book that's good?

Thanks

I just did a quick flip through my copy and it looks like about half the recipes are vegan or have a vegan variation. She does clearly mark what recipes are appropriate for vegans, and those who eat eggs or milk or both.

I'm not actually a vegetarian, but I really like almost every recipe I've made.

Why not go for a vegan cookbook, so you don't have to skip or sub for dairy and eggs?

Do you have a specific vegan book to recommend? I was asking about a particular book because googling "vegan cookbooks" is kind of overwhelming. And I'm sure some are good, some not so.

Sure, I have several favorites. I checked most of them out from the library first to get a feel for whether they'd be a good fit.

Vegan Lunch Box and Vegan Lunch Box Around the World ~ not just for lunches!

Dreena Burton books Vive Le Vegan and Eat, Drink, & Be Vegan ~ lots of kid friendly recipes

Vegan With a Vengeance and Veganomicon ~ many easy recipes, but also many complicated ones

Donna Klein's vegan cookbooks

There is also a brand-new 1,000 Vegan Recipes cookbook by Robin Robertson. It came out last month or so.
