Ok you’re done. You win. Also, you’re not allowed to buy any more until you’ve cooked everything in every cookbook xxx

I see you have the original Moosewood Cookbook. That one’s a classic and a must-have.
Two I use:
Lord Krishna’s Cuisine – this one’s the real deal for Indian vegetarian.
The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook – easy, authentic vegetarian fare from hippie commune.

Have you done Harold McGee, On food and cooking? It literally wrote the book on gastronomy. Dude get little widestream acknowledgement. Only experts recognize his contributions.

I don’t see it, so I’ll recommend Love Real Food by Cookie and Kate. Also, I recommend the internet, too.

There is one I am waiting on via
Interlibrary loan.
It is all about sauces. I’m trying to remember the author/title. I read some of it about 4 years ago, and it was really good. A lot of it isn’t recipes, but explanations of what works, how, and why. What they have learned from experience in an experimental kitchen and what they were working on.
Frustrating. I can see the cover in mind
but can not read the cover.
I believe there were recipes, but there was way more in-depth content.

Nice work! But have you cooked everything from them?

I don’t see any books by Heidi Swanson. I highly recommend the very delicious and approachable [Super Natural Everyday](https://www.amazon.com/Super-Natural-Every-Day-Well-Loved/dp/1580082777) by Heidi Swanson. She also has killer photography, but that’s just a bonus. (edit: I’ll also add that you may share a kindred spirit with Heidi since she literally launched her career by blogging about making recipes from her collection of [101 cookbooks](https://www.101cookbooks.com/) )
Also there are lots of other smaller Deborah Madison books that are great! Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is clearly her chef d’oeuvre but I also love her others and recommend them.
Now… the real question is… if you could only pare these down to an essential 5 – 10 cookbooks that you actually cook a lot from and love and come back to time and again, which ones are they? *alwaysinsearchofnewrecommendations*

Edit 2: I would add a couple more that aren’t vegetarian but are fabulous and inspirational cookbooks (at least by reading – I haven’t cooked recipes yet) by indigenous authors focusing on indigenous foods! [New Native Kitchen: Celebrating Modern Recipes of the American Indian](https://bookshop.org/p/books/new-native-kitchen-celebrating-modern-recipes-of-the-american-indian-james-o-fraioli/16400803?ean=9781419753558) by Freddie Bitsoie and James Fraioli (this one is a mix of traditional and modern takes on native dishes and ingredients and has vegetarian selections included) [The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen](https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-sioux-chef-s-indigenous-kitchen-sean-sherman/11899292?ean=9780816699797) by Sean Sherman and Beth Dooley (this one leans more traditional, and has vegetarian selections, but isn’t as focused on those two elements as much)
I can’t see very well but if you don’t have Thug Kitchen I would recommend that!
Lord krishnas cuisine – the art of Indian vegetarian cooking – by yamuna devi
Not negotiable- it’s a must have!
Better Himes and Garfen is on of my favorite cookbooks. It does I have meat dishes. However I really like the baking stuff in tnay one.
Thug Kitchen is silly but theres some great simple vegan recipes. I think its more geared toward novices and newbies though.
