Cookbooks are no longer the sole keepers of vegan recipes. Today, plant-based recipes are everywhere—from blogs to TikTok videos, and Instagram captions to cooking shows on The Food Network. However, the cookbook industry endures. For some, these recipe bibles serve as collectables or eye-catching coffee table pieces; for others, their pages are worn, ripped, and splattered—the telling signs of a much-loved book. No matter where you lie on that spectrum, you’re going to want to get your pre-orders in for these vegan cookbooks coming this fall. 

Blogger, food photographer, and now cookbook author Hannah Che takes the reader on a historical journey through Chinese vegetarian cooking in her upcoming debut book. The humble, vegetable-focused recipes are interwoven with essays from Che, interviews with chefs and producers, and intimate observations about how history has shaped the foods she grew up with living as a Chinese American and a vegan. Pre-orders are open now for the September 13 release. Find out more

With the summer release of Tabitha Brown’s vegan Food Network Show, It’s Compliplated, it’s only fitting that this star have her own cookbook.

Suffice it to say, Brown knows her way around the kitchen, and her recipes are an authentic reflection of her vibe. From Jackfruit Pot Roast to Broccoli Alfredo Pizza, her food is sure to make you and your family smile.  Find out more
