We just completed a really great Viva la Vegan online class here at Marilu.com, and we’re fired up about plant-based diets. These cookbooks are recommended by our members – people like you – who want good food on the table. Some of the cookbooks are not veagn, but you can easily substitute vegan ingredients, so we’re calling them vegan-friendly.

Check out these cookbooks from your library, or click on the titles to get them at Amazon. Also check this post for books about veganism that have lots of recipes. If you have other suggestions, let us know!
