Reddit reviews The Happy Herbivore Cookbook: Over 175 Delicious Fat-Free and Low-Fat Vegan Recipes

I'm a veg! I love Mexican food. Fajitas, taco salads (with beans). Nom nom nom. I'm always looking to expand my horizons. What is Pittsburgh style?

I use this cookbook for the Ice Cream recipes: http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Mode-Frozen-Treats-Every/dp/1616087242/

And then I use this cookbook for Vegan Cheese and Sour Cream: http://www.amazon.com/Happy-Herbivore-Cookbook-Delicious-Fat-Free/dp/1935618121/

This is the Chicken Seitan recipe that I've been using for the last year or so: http://www.thatwasvegan.com/2012/01/30/my-favorite-chicken-style-seitan-recipe/

This is the Gyro Seitan that I use for Gyro's and Ruebens (yeah, it works): http://vegweb.com/recipes/seitan-gyros

Wholeheartedly agree with Color Me Vegan, which has pictures for quite a lot of the recipes and is an amazing book. I'll also have to cast my vote to The Happy Herbivore which has plenty of delicious recipes with beautiful full-page photos. Although, in fairness, most (all?) of the recipes there are also found on her blog.

i've heard a number of IBS sufferers finding relief through a well-balanced vegetarian/vegan (keyword: well-balanced) diet. it may be worth trying for a few weeks since you're experiencing so much discomfort.

the happy herbivore is an excellent cookbook to start out with, and veganist is great for straightforward, to-the-point-information about a balanced plant-based diet and how it can help.

I have been vegetarian for 13 years. I use the big recipe sites like allrecipes, www.food.com , www.foodnetwork.com , www.epicurious.com , plus some veg-specific ones like www.vegweb.com and www.vegetariantimes.com . Honestly, I would suggest picking up a cookbook. If you don't want to spend any money you could even check out a couple from the library. They usually have some decent veg cookbooks. It is very easy to find low fat/low calorie vegetarian cookbooks. I have a couple of vegan ones that I use a lot because my husband is vegan (I'm not): Appetite for Reduction and The Happy Herbivore Both authors have some good vegan recipes on their websites too: www.happyherbivore.com and www.theppk.com

Another thing that is really simple is just to modify the things you like to eat now and make them vegetarian. My coworkers always ask me what I eat but besides the fact that I tend to eat more world cuisine than the average meat-eating person I eat a lot of the same things that they do. Lasagna, stir fries, casseroles, tacos, most anything you can think of. So my advice is to just think of whatever you want to eat and either modify it yourself or google a recipe for it to make it meatless and low-calorie.

I'm not a robot..

Of the many vegan cookbooks my girlfriend and I have used, we've probably used The Happy Herbivore the most. In fact, right now we're baking a gluten-free pumpkin cheesecake. Fingers crossed!

I can recommend a few books that we constantly use to cook from:

The Happy Herbivore

But I could never go Vegan

We use the first two on a weekly basis, although we mix in some traditional vegetable noodle soups, homemade pizza (with vegan cheese), lots of wok-style noodles with vegetables and tofu and more.
