I love the word &#8220;cookery.&#8221; It just sounds so \u2026 bad-ass and blasphemous. Last night I was asked to share some of my favorite vegan recipes. Since I get this question often enough, I figured it was time to do a blog post. I&#8217;m going to rec some of my favorite cookbooks and then point out specific recipes that I love from them. This is in no way comprehensive, but just what came to mind. If the cookbook is out of print and you can&#8217;t get it, let me know and I will share the recipe you would like.<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cooking-Peta-Vegetarian-Recipes-Compassionate\/dp\/1570670447\">Cooking with PETA<\/a><br \/>\nYou can say what you want about the organization, but if it hadn&#8217;t been for this cookbook, I don&#8217;t think my girlfriend would have stayed vegan very long.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peta.org\/recipes\/crispy-tofu-cubes\/\">Crispy Tofu Cubes<\/a> (we add green bell pepper)<\/li>\n<li>Golden Vegetable Noodle Soup<\/li>\n<li>Beefless Stew (we use seitan instead of TVP)<\/li>\n<li>Tofu Scrambler<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theppk.com\/books\/vegan-with-a-vengeance\/\">Vegan With a Vengeance<\/a><br \/>\nIsa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero really changed things in our house.
