Hey all,

Obligatory not a vegan, though I am wanting to move more in the direction of fully doing so, kinda in a transition phase atm where I'm figuring out what dishes I can make that I enjoy, and that's the issue I'm kinda dealing with currently that's preventing me from doing a full swap.

I was wondering what websites y'all recommend for vegan recipes. I recently came across Veggieboards, which is a great resource, but beyond that I'm a bit lost. I'm hoping to find more simple recipes since I'm just starting out in the kitchen and trying to get a hang of things. As an example, I've recently been trying to make hummus at home, and I quite literally need to smooth the recipe a bit since it came out lumpy when I made it last. Another example is black bean burgers, where getting them to hold together/firm up has been a pain despite how good they taste.

Thanks in advance!

Surprised I haven't seen this here yet: https://rainbowplantlife.com/

I have made over 20 recipes from her and never once been disappointed. She's well-studied and it shows. I just bought her new book to support her and it's nice, but honestly for cooking books (learning how to cook good food, not recipes) I'd stick with Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat and then just use the recipes on the RPL (or other) website. How to Taste by Becky Selengut is also good, but I found it a little redundant after Salt Fat Acid Heat.

I would highly recommend reading either or both of those books if you are interested in improving your home cooking. I wasn't taught to cook growing up; I grew up in an abusive environment. I have spent 2+ years teaching myself how to cook really good food (2+ months for vegan specifically -- still baby🐥) and the most "bang for your buck" time investment that continues to reap countless rewards was definitely reading Salt Fat Acid Heat.
