PLANT-FORWARD COOKBOOKS

I have been collecting cookbooks since I started cooking at age six. With over 750 books, my libraryconsists of a wide variety of cuisines and topics, and within the past decade, it has included plant-based books. 

 

Whether you follow a plant-based diet, are vegetarian, or are vegan curious, I have recommended some plant-based books I own and enjoy reading and using.
