Over the years, we’ve gathered quite a solid collection of cookbooks. And over the past six or seven years, we’ve added more and more vegetarian favourites to suit the way we cook at home. While we must have at least 50 cookbooks on our shelves, there are, of course, a handful that get used all the time. I thought I would share our family’s most-loved and most-used cookbooks. Not all of them are strictly vegetarian, but they all have some wonderful family-friendly vegetarian meals we cook time and time again.
Our family’s favourite go-to cookbooks:
- At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen and Whole Food Cooking Every Day, both by Amy Chaplin
- Ostro and A Year of Simple Family Food, both by Julia Busuttil Nishimura
- All of the cookbooks by Yotam Ottolenghi, but especially his Ottolenghi Simple
- Weligama: Recipes from Sri Lanka by Emily Dobbs
- All of The River Cafe cookbooks, especially River Cafe 30, River Cafe Classic Italian and the Pasta & Ravioli Pocket Book (which has to be the most used cookbook in our house!)
- Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks, especially Jamie Cooks Italy
- Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson
- All of the books by Hetty McKinnon
- The cookbooks by Anna Jones, especially A Modern Way to Eat
- We have been a long-time fan of Meera Sodha’s recipes and recently got her book East
