What is the best Vegan cookbook out there, that is NOT filled with soy-based recipes, for a beginner vegan?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Vegan cookbook


Any raw foods cookbook would definitely not contain any soy. My favorite is Raw: The Uncookbook

Seitan is a meat substitute made from wheat gluten. It’s soy free, so a seitan cookbook like the one below would also be a good option:

And finally, while it isn’t strictly soy free, The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen is a cookbook based on fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans. In fact, neither "soy" nor "tofu" appear in the index.

And you probably already know this, but the comment above is wrong. You definitely can be a vegan without soy. Soy provides protein, good fat, and a little calcium. This things can be easily substituted for with other elements of a vegan diet.

Here is a good list of soy-free vegan essentials:

    My favorite cookbook lately is the Voluptuous Vegan. I forget the author, sorry. But its a woman. The recipes are really varied and have good use of herbs and spices. Some are easy some are more advanced. I’m not sure what you are wanting as far as soy or not but there is some use of tofu, but not too many ‘fake meat’ things..
