Vegan chefs are currently creating the most innovative, gorgeous food imaginable. You can experience this deliciousness at restaurants, but it’s equally exciting to try vegan chefs’ culinary magic in our own homes. And this, folks, is why we’ve put together a list of the most anticipated vegan cookbooks of 2019.
The staggering number of vegan cookbooks released in the
past couple of years has helped usher vegan cooking into the mainstream, and this coming year promises more of the scrumptious same. It’s never been easier to do right by animals, the environment, and your health.
Without further ado, here’s a taste of some vegan cookbooks that will be released in 2019:
This scrumptious book covers some of our favorite types of cuisine, such as Indian, Italian, Mexican, Vietnamese, and more.
