My 5 Favourite Cookbooks for Plant Based Recipes

[@marilynpease8782]

My GP actually wrote me a “prescription “ to watch Forks over Knives. She is the one who got me to go vegetarian. I’m not vegan yet but working towards it. I love your channel. I wish you were my next door neighbor.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks Marilyn 😊

[@irhonda31]

How fortunate you are to have a doctor who is that aware!

[@ianbarr4716]

LOOK AT THAT BACKDROP!!!! We're loving your videos Adelina. Cheers.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks Ian 😊

[@debbyjo123]

THAT IS EXACTLY why I love Sam’s recipes… she is the first to tell you use what you have, make it your own. She is definitely amazing!! So glad you spotlighted Sam.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

She's awesome 😊

[@sandralnwebster3204]

Good gift ideas! Sophie is very loving,the way she nudges your back and winds herself around you is priceless! She competes for your attention with her little gestures! She's a keeper! Have a great day!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

She is the sweetest 🐈❤️.

[@tomnjudyorton732]

Thank you, I just put in my Amazon cart #2 and #3. I am going to try Sam’s vegan “Butter Chicken” using cauliflower for my dinner tonight. I found her recipe on line. I have made lots of various online recipes but it will be nice to have some cookbooks for planning and for the photos! Judy

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hi Judy! I know you're going to love them! 😊

[@Britbabe53]

Love them all! Gaz rocks!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Yes he does!

[@annr8514]

Hi! Enjoyed video. Love your selection of cookbooks- I am not vegan but love veggies! 🥰

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks Ann ☺️

[@debbyjo123]

Ohhhh I just took a cooking course with Sam!! She cooked a Thanksgiving meal and provided all the recipes and grocery list. It was so much fun!! I Love ❤️ LOVE her!!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

She's amazing!

[@irhonda31]

Years ago I took a vegetarian/vegan Thanksgiving cooking course (from someone else), and I still use those recipes. It helps so much when you get ideas for the whole meal, and they taste good and are not just a bunch of processed foods.

You know I often watch this video of yours because I loved that backdrop so much the dark windows and dim light ..I love watching your videos

Wil Yeung has a KZbin channel (Yeung Man cooking) and also has great cookbooks on plant based cooking. His recipes are delicious. He is also Canadian.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

I watch his channel. Didn't know he had a cook book. Thanks for sharing.

[@dianeschuller]

I love all his recipes!

[@SuperRiverQueen]

I will pass on that first book 😂 but might try listening to documentary.. not a vegan eater yet but I do like vegetables! I am a life long weight watchers member since I was 18 .. only had to lose 13 lbs and keep it off for 3 weeks to become life long member( quite awhile ago). So I learned to eat well early on! Now I need to eat healthy and lose a few pounds so thanks for information, helpful as always❣️💯

[@chezsuzie]

This was GREAT! Was looking for a good “beginner” book for a vegan curious friend-had never heard of “Thug Kitchen” but believe it strikes just the right tone for quite a few people on my gift list! THANK YOU!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hope you like it!

[@mrcdplsrl]

Sophie was definitely offended! Lol She’s pleasantly fluffy and BEAUTIFUL 💕

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Exactly 🐈☺️

[@barbaratoynes296]

Have you heard of LivB? Liv is Canadian too. She has 2 cookbooks, I have both, great easy recipes. I love her cook books and website.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

She's got a KZbin channel to doesn't she? I think I've watched her.

[@RoseofSharon3]

Sophie is just Sophie. Sweet and fluffy.💕

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Yes she is 🐈❤️

[@irhonda31]

Thanks for the tips! I have often thought about buying the Thug cookbook, but never did. Oh, I have soooo many! But I always want another one!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

😁❤️

[@fairrobynrenee]

I like The Kind Diet. I am going to be picking up Fuss Free Vegan tonight!!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Good suggestion! 😊

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

"The Kind Diet" is great. Alicia made me cook recipes with ingredients that I would have never made otherwise. I love the one with Bok Choy, Ume Vinegar and Gomashio : )

[@marietremble9426]

Really appreciate these recommendations. My daughter is vegetarian and I’m always looking for new meals to make when she comes home. Love your channel!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks so much Marie ☺️

[@Ray-bn1ry]

You seem like such a sweet lady, thank you for the video! Been vegan 3 yrs but gonna get my 1st cookbook, gonna get the Fuss Free, thank you 👏🏽🙏🏽

Great recipe books, I need to purchase one. And also have you seen the THE HAPPY PEAR, TWIN BROTHERS IN THE KITCHEN COOKING VEGAN.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

I live their channel!

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

I have the Forks Over Knives cookbook and all issues of their magazine. Have followed Gaz since he began his KZbin channel.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks Beth 😊

[@GrandmaD2024]

Thank you for sharing this with us. Honestly I dont understand being vegan, and kind of consider myself to be half vegetarian. I eat meat but not a lot. I would like a video from you about being vegan vs vegetarian. Thanks!

[@buddahlion4053]

Hi Adelina, I really enjoyed this video and even though I'm not Vegan but probably Vegetarian I appreciated the recipe recommendations and purchased them all. I will let you know how it turns out. I wish you and Sophie well. 💕💐

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

I'll be curious to know which you like most. 😊

[@sue9252]

Thanks for sharing your cookbook’s. I have one by Angela Liddon, “OH SHE GLOWS”. I’ve tried some of her recipes and was impressed how tasty the dishes were. I tend to eat more Mediterranean than anything mostly because I find it easier to put a meal together and I don’t have to keep so much of a stocked pantry. But that’s just me . And still do eat meat but not as much . I love veggies & fruits. 😊

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Great suggestion! 😊

[@laurawinger4339]

Oh! This is perfect! I know all these folks/websites but I always forget about them. And I think I might only ever look at 'It Doesn't Take Like Chicken' when I look through food pics on Pinterest. And I haven't watched an Avant Garde Vegan video in forever. So thank you for this excellent reminder! And even though I'm not the biggest cookbook person I might just have to check out Sam's book. Thank you! Also! I don't know if you found an easier setain recipe than Gaz's, but I love following Fit Vegan Chef on KZbin and Instagram and she's always posting her seitan recipe. I haven't tried it but the video's look fairly easy.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check her out!

[@kariwick-InnerPeaceCoaching]

Thanks for sharing! Always good info!!! Quick question - does Canada do daylight savings time? All provinces at the same time? Like most of the U.S./this weekend ‘fall back’? Kari🌞 fyi, in case you are interested = Arizona (where I live) does not do daylight savings.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Yes we do and I suppose that's coming up soon. We'll lose an hour. I wish we didn't.

[@kariwick-InnerPeaceCoaching]

I like not doing DST. Feels more natural. When I lived up north - my SAD was made much worse in the fall/after the time change = because it would be dark by 4-5 p.m.

[@janierichmond5607]

Great information as usual! 👏🌸. I have the Forks Over Knives cookbook and love it. Actually, I admire it. 🤭 I have a question for you…you mentioned you have more cookbooks than you showed…in a tiny house, where do you store them? Thanks!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

In the hallway cupboard by my desk.

[@sarahoconnell7801]

Love your recipes -I'm a vegetarian working on vegan...) I just found "Just Eggs" at our local natural foods store, wondering what vegan cheeses are the best too? I ordered a used copy of "Thug Kitchen" (online) for my son - he's only (accidentally) been fed meat 2x in his 36 years... Did you see the creators have changed the title to "Bad Manners" which makes sense. Enjoying your posts about your new location and envious about your future with less snowfall than we have here in NNY, about 25 miles south of southern Ontario.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Just Egg is a game changer. I'm a fan of Violife and the Daiya cutting board cheeses.

Hi. I have been vegan for quite a few years and I love to try new things. Just curious before I buy the Fuss Free Vegan cookbook, are there recipes in it that use the Instant Pot? You inspired me so much I just bought one last week. Have a good day!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hi. I do y think so. But there are vegan IP cook books out there ☺️. And I have a whole playlist.

[@heathermcelroy3303]

Hi Adelina, thanks for your response to my question regarding instant pot recipes. I would love to know which instant pot cookbooks you feel are user friendly, good for a person cooking for one but willing to share with neighbours. Have a super nice day!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

The only one I have is called Vegan In An Instant by Marina Delio.

[@heathermcelroy3303]

@@myBIGtinyhouselife thank you so much for responding. I will most certainly check out your suggestion. Looking forward to your next vlog.

[@thalie3182]

Thank you Adelina for another great video ! I love your channel, you are such a great role model & an inspiration to all of us who are watching. You are a solution oriented, strong woman who is sharing her knowledge & experiences, while making her dreams happen, and that is very empowering for everyone : ) I am vegetarian, and I'm learning to prep & cook vegan food with Hanna from HighCarb Hannah on KZbin. I LOVE the way she uses lots of fresh fruits & veggies in all her recipes. They are very easy to make and are based on Dr. John MacDougall teachings. Her meal planners help me make sure I am getting all the nutrients and protein my body needs everyday. We live in a fast world, and vegan Fast food is a real thing. Many newcomers to vegan lifestyle lack the knowledge to create a nutritive & balanced diet & suffer from lack of adequate nutrition. Thanks for your help in getting the good information out, I will absolutely check out Sam's cookbook. Until next time : )

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hi Thalie. I watch Hannah as well 😊.

Hi Prettylina, excellent info. about Vegan cooking books. I would like to know if you cook bread and specially German bread or fruit bread.
