Book cover of The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America's Most Imaginative Chefs

Emily Lael Aumiller Author Of Pure Artistry: Extraordinary Vegan & Gluten-Free Cakes

From my list on vegan and gluten-free baking and cake decorating.

Why am I passionate about this?

Like many others, due to allergies, I had to rethink conventional techniques in the kitchen. I started creating new recipes with alternative ingredients, aiming to make a tiered cake that showcased thoughtful choices and beautiful designs. By avoiding processed ingredients, I achieved delicate, moist textures with rich flavors and colors. Working with alternative ingredients keeps me inspired by nature, which I love—it's all about creativity and exploration, using perishable ingredients to create edible sculptures. I owe my journey and ability to experiment to past mentors who taught me about unique flavor pairings and creative baking techniques. Their guidance was essential to my journey and the creation of my cookbook.

This book is a valuable resource for chefs and beginner cooks. It has changed how I think about recipes by showing many flavor combinations. The book is organized alphabetically by different ingredients, such as spices, nuts, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. For each ingredient, it features unique flavor pairings. I find it essential for my personal and professional cooking.

Its main goal is to highlight the many ways to pair ingredients, inspiring creativity in the kitchen. Whenever I need new ideas for pairing, I turn to this book. As someone who develops recipes and enjoys creating unique dishes, I believe this book is timeless.

This book quickly became a source of inspiration for playing with vegan and gluten-free desserts. It offers a wide range of recipes, including cookies, bread, cakes, and pies. I was particularly impressed by the experimentation with gluten-free mixes.

Emily's book list on vegan and gluten-free baking and cake decorating

Emily Lael Aumiller Why Emily loves this book

Many bakers keep The Joy of Baking in their kitchens. When I started vegan baking, I realized I needed a vegan version of this classic book. I had a traditional cooking background and worked for classic cake designers and bakeries, so I didn’t know much about vegan baking at that time. The vegan baking community is mainstream now, but when I started, it felt like entering a new world with many unknowns and stereotypes.

This was before Eleven Madison Park made plant-based fine dining popular and before many restaurants and bakeries offered vegan options. Almost everywhere I go now serve delicious dishes that might not seem vegan at all. This book changed my view on vegan baking and is still relevant today.

I received this book as a gift in 2006, just a year after its release, and I was immediately captivated by Peggy's sophisticated modern interpretations of classic cakes and dessert designs. During my time in culinary school, I frequently referred to their designs for inspiration and studied their techniques.

When it was time for me to write my cookbook, I naturally drew guidance from the layout style of their book, which made it easy to follow with its recipes, unique designs, and fresh takes on classics showcased through inspiring photography.

Book cover of Vegan Travel Handbook 1

Wendy Werneth Author Of Veggie Planet: Uncover the Vegan Treasures Hiding in Your Favorite World Cuisines

From my list on vegan travel.

Why am I passionate about this?

I’ve been living a semi-nomadic lifestyle and traveling the globe for all my adult life, and travel has truly shaped who I am. In 2014, when I learned about the many advantages of a vegan lifestyle for my health, the planet, and the animals, I felt compelled to make the change. There was one thing holding me back, though, which was the fear that being vegan would ruin travel. Fortunately, I gave it a trial run anyway during a three-week trip to Greece and discovered that being vegan actually made traveling even more fun! Ever since, I’ve been sharing my global vegan discoveries on my website, the Nomadic Vegan.

Wendy's book list on vegan travel

Wendy Werneth Why Wendy loves this book

Since there are not that many vegan travel books on the market (yet), this title sneaks onto this list, but with a caveat. This book is a collaboration by multiple authors, and some parts are definitely better than others.

The general travel information was clearly written by a vegan and is right on point. However, some of the destination-specific sections seem to be lifted from Lonely Planet’s other titles and weren’t written from a vegan perspective.

While the information about vegan food options in various countries is accurate, a vegan lifestyle is not just about food. Rather, it’s about avoiding causing harm to animals as far as possible through the choices we make in all aspects of our daily life.

Some of the activities mentioned in the Vegan Travel Handbook do not fit within this worldview, which may be off-putting for vegan readers. Nevertheless, for new vegans or vegan-curious travelers…

From my list on vegan health.

Why am I passionate about this?

I first adopted a vegan diet for the animals and then shifted to a plant-based vegan "for my health" in my mid-20s. I felt fabulous for the next 10-15 years. Then, in my mid-30s, I suddenly developed severe and chronic GI symptoms. I was severely bloated, nauseous, and constipated, which didn't make sense given how much fiber I was eating. After diagnosis and treatment for H Pylori (a bacterial infection), I was left with a "broken belly" (severe dysbiosis). I've spent the last few years reading every book on gut health and hormones to learn how to heal myself since traditional medicine has failed me.

This book stands as a glaring reminder of how we have to advocate for ourselves and our health. This book painfully illustrates the corruption of our health"care" system.

New York Times Bestseller What happens when you eat an apple? The answer is vastly more complex than you imagine. Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants whose names, beyond a few like vitamin C, are unfamiliar to us, and each of these powerful chemicals has the potential to play an important role in supporting our health. They impact thousands upon thousands of metabolic reactions inside the human body. But calculating the specific influence of each of these chemicals isn't nearly sufficient to explain the effect of the apple as a whole. Because almost every chemical can affect every other chemical,…

Even with the loveliest hotel room and a beckoning pool, the perfect vacation can be spoiled when the restaurant forces you to make a meal out of side dishes. For vegetarians and vegans, a hotel vacation suiting their culinary lifestyle can still be quite a challenge. But there are outstanding alternatives out there, you just have to find them! Travel journalists, Thomas and Karen Klein, had the same thought, so, in 2011, they joined forces with Peter Haunert to launch the hotel partner and website, VeggieHotels, a portal featuring 100% vegetarian hotels and inns. In addition to purely vegetarian-vegan hotels,…
