At the risk of breaking your heart, The Hollywood Glamour Cookbook above is not on this list. Sorry! Hmm, but maybe this time next year you’ll be shopping for The Veggie Runners Cookbook…? For now, though, you’ll have to settle for these tried and tested beauties. Our readers have nominated these as THE best vegetarian cookbooks ever. (Thanks to everyone for taking the time to drop us a line over the ether).
There are twenty on the list, of which we own at least half. Now all we want for Christmas is to own the rest! Share the list with your friends and family if you do too 😉
And if your favourite isn’t on here, please add it in the comments. This is the list that can keep on giving.
