I used to run a vegan blog where I added a bunch of my favorite recipes. I ended up using it as my own cook book, so maybe you'll find it useful too. It can be found at Veganminneapolis wordpress.
Otherwise, Kate Fruit Flowers has amazing recipes too!

I've been vegan for over 34 years now. I just had a blood test done and my nutrients are all present and correct. I was a borderline low on vitamin D but had just gone through the winter so wasn't overly worried. The doc said to add mushrooms to my diet which was no problem at all. Anyway, there is so much more vegan info and food around now. When I first went vegan we were lucky to find soya milk and margarine in a local wholefood store.

Here are a couple of my favourite blogs:
https://simpleveganblog.com/recipes/
http://www.thisrawsomeveganlife.com/
If you are concerned about getting the best combination of nutrients, (and I am not assuming that you haven't done your research, just offering this as a possibility), perhaps a diet guideline would help start you off? Fitnessblender.com sell a cheap four-week vegan plan, and once you are familiar with a few staple dishes and snacks you can easily customise the recipes to suit your tastes.
Most supermarkets tend to have tofu, plant milks etc. nowadays, but if you have trouble finding ingredients, try HappyCow.net to locate health food shops in your area.
Good luck! I know it is hard at first but it does become a lot easier.

Water from 1 can of chickpeas
1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate
1/4 cup syrup
Refrigerate the chickpea water for at least an hour. In a large bowl, whip until fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Melt the chocolate and syrup together in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds.
Mix melted chocolate slowly into the chickpea water, while whipping with the hand mixer.
Pour into a nice container and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until set.

I can't believe this recipe contains chick peas. I am going to try this. The fact that it only contains three ingredients is great. I might use agave syrup for the syrup and some raw chocolate.juliamenez wrote: ↑01 Aug 2018, 20:51 To make quick vegan chocolate mousse:

Lately, I've been on a cauliflower steak kick. You slice the cauliflower into thick slices and fry them in a pan with a little high temperature oil with lots of your favorite spices. I like it with chili powder.

Check out Minimalist Baker on Instagram or her blog. She has a lot of great vegan recipes.MerissaFaye wrote: ↑17 Jul 2016, 21:26 So I just transitioned into vegan from pescetarianism (vegetarian eating fish) and I'm having issues finding good vegan options for food. I want a vegan cookbook or a good website or blogger with good recipes. I'd also love any recipes anyone has! Vegan is so difficult to transition to for me, and it's been a hard 12 days being vegan.
Any ideas are welcome!
