Here\u2019s a little secret no one wants to admit: Vegan cooking is hard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult to create miraculously delicious meals day after day when you\u2019ve lost two major food groups. Plus, it\u2019s made worse when everyone assumes that since you\u2019re vegan you\u2019re some sort of holier-than-thou guru, eating like three cashew nuts a day.<\/p>\n

But fuck that.<\/p>\n

Making fulfilling, sustainable vegan meals is actually pretty easy. And it doesn\u2019t require shaved fennel seeds, goji berries, or other ridiculous ingredients.<\/p>\n

Here are five books for some good, down to earth vegan food. Because good cooking doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. And neither should vegan cooking.<\/p>\n

Eat well\u00a0my friends….<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Comfort Eating With Nick Cave: Vegan Recipes To Get Deep Inside of You<\/strong><\/em><\/a>
\nBy Joshua Ploeg and Automne Zingg\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe all suffer.\u201d A statement that, I\u2019m sure, Nick Cave would agree with.<\/p>\n

While we usually associate guilty pleasures with the type of food kept under the dayglo display at McDonalds, there are plenty of\u00a0better<\/em>\u00a0options out there. In Comfort Eating with Nick Cave<\/em>, the emotionally somber musician inspires some amazing vegan comfort recipes. Try the surprisingly simple Cinnamon rolls for instance, using coconut oil and almond milk.<\/p>\n

With these new recipes under your belt, you\u2019re one step closer to embracing your inner Nick Cave: Listening to\u00a0Tender Play<\/em>\u00a0by yourself in the dark as you eat your new delicious treats.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Hot Damn & Hell Yeah: Recipes for Hungry Banditos, 10th Anniversary Edition<\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/strong>
\nBy Ryan Splint<\/p>\n

So you wanna kick it up a notch.<\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re a fan of Emeril’s catchphrase, or you just really like Westworld. Either way, you can\u2019t go wrong with Tex-Mex\/ Southern cooking. Travel down to south of the border with Ryan Splint\u2019s cookbook, which covers everything from Vegan Chili, Drop Biscuits, and Vegetable Pot Pie. Included are some wonderfully drawn macabre illustrations, and other original takes on good ole\u2019 southern food.<\/p>\n

Go find some tequila and start cookin\u2019: You\u2019re a bandito now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Mama Tried: Traditional Italian Cooking for the Screwed, Crude, Vegan, and Tattooed<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/em>
\nBy Cecilia Granata<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest. Your grandma probably wasn\u2019t vegan. But let\u2019s say she was. And wrote a cookbook. And was also Italian. You\u2019d end up with Cecilia Granata\u2019s\u00a0Mama Tried<\/em>, a wonderful cookbook filled with old world recipes made with vegan ingredients.
\nJust because you\u2019re vegan doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t make Tiramisu, Flan Al Cioccolato, Panna Cotta.
\nWith most recipes only a handful of ingredients, and simple instructions, there\u2019s little prep and cook time. Sounds too good to be true? It probably is.<\/p>\n

Go get a copy before we sell out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Chocolatology: Chocolate’s Fantastical Lore, Bittersweet History, & Delicious (Vegan) Recipes<\/strong><\/em><\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>By Cat Callaway, Greg Clarke, Darin Wick and Angel York<\/p>\n

As many people will tell you, the hardest part about going vegan is the sweets. But you know what is vegan? Chocolate. No, not that crap they put in Nutella, but real unadulterated chocolate.
\nYou\u2019re not the first person to fall in love with chocolate, and\u00a0Chocolatology<\/em>\u00a0covers the history and lore behind the notorious sweet. On your history lesson journey you\u2019ll also learn about its health benefits, sourcing sustainable cacao, and some (vegan) recipes to boot.<\/p>\n

Sounds like the perfect after-school special to me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Fire & Ice: Warm, Cool & Spicy Vegan Recipes from Hot & Soul<\/em><\/strong><\/a>
\n\"\"By Joshua Ploeg.<\/p>\n

Who knew someone could be so talented? Joshua Ploeg, an accomplished punk musician in his own right (Behead The Prophet, No Lord Shall Live) also happens to moonlight as a gourmet vegan cook in his free time.\u00a0Ice and Fire<\/em>\u00a0is a wonderful pocket-sized assortment of fusion and eclectic recipes made with easy-to-find ingredients.
\nCovering everything from garlic linguine and pineapple gazpacho, to Peanut-Bread Tempeh, you certainly won\u2019t find yourself bored with dinner options. (Did we mention there\u2019s plenty of boozy cocktail recipes in here as well!?)<\/p>\n

This is for the friend who tells you vegan cooking \u201ccan\u2019t be interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Go prove him wrong.<\/p>\n
