Would-be vegan needs beginner cookbooks for quick easy meals. Her family isn’t helpful with her vegan diet.

Hi! I am very much wanting to become a vegan, but need some good advice on cookbooks. For beginners and for quick and easy meals. The rest of my family refuses my ways. So the easier the better - T.C.

I’m sorry your family won’t support your vegan diet, but on the other hand, it’s a great opportunity to learn to cook!

There are many excellent cookbooks listed in Savvy Vegetarian’s Favorite Cookbooks ^[1]. Two we like are Robin Robertson’s Quick Fix Vegan ^[2], and Nava Atlas’s Vegan Express ^[3]” - both by experienced and popular cookbook authors.

Another fun quick & easy vegan cookbook is the 30 Minute Vegan ^[4]. Your family will love these recipes, and never miss the meat.

While you’re buying one of those cookbooks, pick up a copy of the vegan nutrition bible, Becoming Vegan ^[5] by vegan RDs Melina and Davis - so you get the whole nutrition thing down, and your family won’t nag you about your vegan diet causing malnutrition.

Also, check out Savvy Veg’s quick easy recipes ^[7].

There are challenges in learning how to cook your own vegan food: Changing how you think about food, and then changing your food habits, followed by organizing your kitchen and pantry to support all that different food activity.

It takes a while to make all those changes, so be patient, persistent, and read these helpful articles:

I’ll bet that pretty soon, those who refuse your vegan ways will want to share your yummy vegan food! Be nice.
