Do any of you have any vegan cookbooks on regional or international cuisine that you recommend? List them here!:

Linda Majzlik, 'A Vegan Taste of...'
3 years ago
Linda Majzlik has a great range of cookbook, 'A Vegan Taste of...', including Central America, Greece and North Africa.

Available from The Vegan Society.

For Far Eastern and Middle Eastern cuisine, I don't think you can beat World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking  by Madhur Jaffrey.  It does include sections on dairy and eggs, but the majority of recipes are vegan and really wonderful!

Another Madhur Jaffrey fan! Wonderful I no longer have the cookbook you mention - it disappeared in one of our moves - but I have her _World Vegetarian_ without which I would probably be eating tea and toast Of course, it isn't vegan, but most of it is vegan - and the recipes are truly delicious and vary from the simplest to the more complicated.

I have 'The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen' by Donna Klein
3 years ago
I've got both those Madhur Jaffrey books - I've got loads of 'staples' that I make from them.

Another well used book in our house is
The Bean Book, by Rose Elliot.

Not vegan, but certainly vegetarian (and you can skip or adapt the yucky ingredients):
Jack Bishiop's 1997 _The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook_ and
Julie Sahni's 1985 (practically an antique!) _Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking_
Warmest love, River
Spencer, _The Adventurous Vegetarian_
3 years ago
Just ran across this book in my study while looking for another: Colin Spencer, _The Adventurous Vegetarian_ 1989. I seem to remember picking it up in a secondhand bookshop three or four years ago. It's full of recipes and info about the cuisines and cultures around the world - and great illustrations. It's vegetarian rather than vegan, however - but I just skip or adapt the recipes not suited to my lifestyle
And yes, I have made many recipes from it!
Love, River

Add to these my latest fave: Donna Klein, _Vegan Italiano_ (2006) which we bought ourselves as one of our we-don't-celebrat-xmas gifts It's really good - and I especially like that it gives the nutritional info for each recipe/serving.

One (well actually two-in-one) of our new favourite cookbooks, full of great, easy Soutwest USA dishes, & bizzarely the odd Ethiopian dish:  'Hot Damn and Hell Yeah: Recipes for Hungry Banditos/The Dirty South Vegan Cookbook'

Just realised that no-one's mentioned the classics of vegan cookery on here - the books by Eva Batt!:
All published by the Vegan Society, though it looks like only Vegan Cooking is currently available, which is a shame. (Guess you could classify these as 'British cuisine'. )

Recently bought a lovely new cook book for my fella - Vegan Soul Kitchen - but I can see me cooking a few things from it too (for him, of course. Not a lot of raw stuff in there... Unless you count the mint julep. )

Definitely count the mint julep!

I recommend "Asian Vegan Kitchen" by Hema Parekh

What I like about this cookbook (other than the large sections on Indian and Japanese cuisine YUM!) is that it has recipes from countries Americans don't normally find recipes from such as Burma and Vietnam.
