Vegetarian Publications

A selection of cookbooks, books, and periodicals on vegetarianism

The number of books, cookbooks, and periodicals devoted to vegetarianism has increased dramatically in recent years, reflecting the explosive growth of interest in things vegetarian. The following lists cover some of the major titles and are not intended to be comprehensive. Inclusion of a book in a list does not imply that the Vegetarian Union of North America endorses the opinions of the author.

Cookbooks

In the old days (like about ten years ago), the names of all the important vegetarian cookbooks could be printed in a reasonably short list. Today, however, listing all vegetarian cookbooks is a major bibliographic task. The list below (alphabetically, by title) is just a sample to give you some ideas.
