So you are giving it some serious thought and are not sure where to start….here are some great Vegan Resources including cookbooks and websites to get you started.

In a later post I will give you a list of what to buy for your pantry. You will find eventually that your shopping cart is going to look a lot different than most other shoppers. I love what’s in my cart, it feels so good to buy food that is nutritious, delicious and I didn’t have to hurt anyone or anything to get it either. A win win for everyone!

Of course you can sign up for this blog and continue to get great ideas and information as its posted. So many ideas to share, so little time!!  Its totally free! My gift to you.

One of the first things I did was buy a couple great cookbooks. I know there are lots of things on-line, I still like the feel of a book and flipping through the pages to get some ideas.

There are so many amazing cookbooks out there. Below are a few of my favourites, I have many and I would love to buy even more! Find some you like and that appeal to your sense of what you like. They will be an inspiration for you to learn, try new things and to experiment. Have fun!

Green Cuisine – they have two cookbooks and I like them because they are practical and one is vegan and gluten free – bonus! http://www.greencuisine.com/

The Oh She Glows Cookbook – one of the most popular vegan cookbooks! She also has two cookbooks on her website. http://ohsheglows.com/the-book/

Ani’s Raw Foods Essentials – if you want to find out more about raw vegan, I would suggest Ani. She is well known in this area. http://www.aniphyo.com/

Crazy Sexy Kitchen– I love Kris Carr, I follow her blog and have two of her books, packed with great information and recipes. In this cookbook, I find a lot of wonderful recipes for entertaining. http://kriscarr.com/

Forks Over Knives – The have a video and now a cookbook with over 300 plant-based recipes to enjoy. http://www.forksoverknives.com/

A couple other Vegan Resources that you might find helpful:

I’ve mentioned these folks in another post. The PCRM – Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. I joined this group when I started to become a vegan, almost 7 years ago! They have an on-line program, its free and very informative. If you think you’d like to try being a vegan for 21 days (21 Day Vegan Kickstart Program), check it out!! I’m so glad that I did! http://support.pcrm.org/site/PageServer?pagename=21day_vegan_kickstart
