i love all the cookbooks by isa chandra. vegan with a vengeance, veganomicon (more bon appetite) vegan brunch (fun---the coffee cake is wonderful) vegan cupcakes take over the world
i also love get it ripe and feeding the whole family has some really yummy salads etc.

but if you don't want to scream that you're vegan or crunchy (not sure where your line is. grain salads? tofu quiche?) you might as well make cupcakes. b/c that's the thing that wins people over easily.
i can email you a recipe if you want.
isa shares a bunch of recipes on her blog as well: theppk.com
