Food stylist and baking instructor Larsen presents his first cookbook, a culmination of years of experimentation resulting from his mother's (and later his own) decision to remove gluten and dairy from her diet. After an extensive personal introduction, Larsen offers his guide to weighing flour, a list of grains and starches he most recommends for baking, the dairy alternatives he favors, and an inventory of suggested equipment. An abundant list of more than 100 recipes follows, including quick breads, muffins, and scones; cakes; cookies and bars; pies and tarts; crisps and cobblers; yeasted breads and rolls; and frostings, glazes, and toppings. The recipes are enhanced with tips for the baking process, notes on storage and freezing, a personal note describing the author's opinions on the bake, and variations for a variety of flavors. Step-by-step photo tutorials are included for foundational processes, such as making a piecrust. This extensive collection is indexed and includes, as one might expect, beautifully styled photos of the ingredients and bakes. A number of the recipes are also vegan.--Booklist Reviews

Family : new vegetarian comfort food to nourish every day
Hetty McKinnon
641.5636 /McKinnon
Cookbooks
Australia-born, Brookyn-based cook and food writer McKinnon (Neighborhood: Hearty Salads and Plant-Based Recipes from Home and Abroad) presents her interpretation of vegetarian comfort food with a diverse array of hearty recipes intended for family meals and gatherings. Menus vary in difficulty but would best suit a home cook already comfortable in the kitchen. The dishes, some of which are vegan and/or gluten free, include savory casseroles and bakes, relatively simple and fresh pastas, inventive salads, nutritious egg dishes, soups, a brief selection of desserts, and numerous recipes from the author's Cantonese heritage. In the later portion of the book, the author intermittently features personal recipes and stories from women of different backgrounds, placing the emphasis on family and community. Photographs by James Beard Award winner Brimble show McKinnon preparing and enjoying dishes with her family; short introductions to each recipe both personalize and enhance the project.--LJ Reviews
This might not be the healthiest of cookbooks out there, if 'comfort food' means what I take it to mean (hello pasta and pizza)! However, with chapters such as 'Salad days' and 'Sweet talking' I think there probably a pretty good mix in here of healthy and indulgent recipes for any vegetarian.

641.563 /Turner
Cookbooks
"As millions of people know, one of the toughest things about completing the Whole30 is figuring out what to eat next, the other 335 days of the year. Teri Turner, creator of No Crumbs Left, has healthful and great tasting answers. Food is Teri's love language, and her approach to getting people into the kitchen, rolling up their sleeves, and cooking is contagious.

Teri's recipes, most of which are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and Whole30 compliant, are what makes No Crumbs Left so unique.

Her signature Marinated Red Onions, 999 Island Dressing, Gomasio, and Spicy Almond Sauce are true secret weapons.

Dinner for everyone : 300 ways to go easy, vegan, or all out
Mark Bittman
641.5 /Bittman
Cookbooks
The How to Make Everything author takes 100 dishes and offers three versions of each in this nifty volume: one simple, one complex, and one vegan. The variables that separate the easy recipes from the more difficult are, essentially, the prep time involved and the number and quality of ingredients. For instance, fast pho with tea broth has a dozen ingredients, including tea bags, and takes half an hour to brew, while pho with fresh noodles has more than 20 ingredients and takes three hours to create a fragrant broth spiced with anise, cloves, and peppercorns. Bittman's vegan options intrigue, such as the wings, where chicken is replaced by battered celery root and blue cheese dressing is replaced by a blend of black bean and tahini. Eggplant parmesan with creamy tofu vodka sauce shines as a vegan option to a quick skillet chicken parmigiana and a more involved version with chicken, pancetta, and red wine. A section called "The Big Reveal" offers three dishes that are unwrapped at the table: chicken meunière under foil, curried tofu flan, and salt-baked whole fish. Diverse in scope and succinct in style, three times is a charm in Bittman's latest, whether cooking for guests or for oneself.--PW Reviews
Mark Bittman has delivered another book chock-full of recipes and know-how for all situations.
