Best brunch & tea cooking books according to redditors

Cookbooks! I read so many food blogs, but it's never quite as nice as reading a cookbook, even if it's more practical.

Some I enjoyed this year:

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day - My bread-baking bible

Top with Cinnamon - This girl is 18 and is better at cooking/styling/photography/writing than I will ever be

Joy the Baker's Homemade Decadance - Basically the food blog queen

Sunday Suppers - This one is just beautiful

I like Isa Chandra Moskowitz and her books so much I've assigned them as reading to my students. I teach I.T.

I like Veganomicom so much I went vegan twice just to discover it for the first time a second time.

Vegan with a Vengeance is so good I read it my dog before bedtime.

I like Vegan Brunch so much I make the recipes ... when it's not even brunch.

I really like the book "Vegan Brunch" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. It has loads of egg free recipes, everything from egg free pancakes and waffles to egg free Omelettes. A lot of the recipes call for vegan milk alternatives, but you can simply replace it with milk without any issues. One of my favourite recipes is for crepes it is my go to recipes for crepes even though I eat eggs

Brunch is so white middle class, someone even wrote a book about it.

Brunch is my favorite meal so Vegan Brunch is killer. It's by the same author as Vegan with a Vengeance and has a million recipes.

Not vegan related, but I'm also reading Bill Bryson's newest book, At Home: A Short History of Private Life. An entertaining casual read if you like infoporn.

You obviously need Vegan Brunch by Isa Chandra Moskowitz.

But the gem of that cookbook is obviously the Tempeh Crab Cakes.

Since we are all a little lazy... Here are links to all of the books in my stack:
Betty Goes Vegan (my mom got this one for my boyfriend - so not strictly mine - in hopes that he would cook for me. I am pressing the tofu right now at his request, so far so good)

Vegan Eats World

Eat Drink & Be Vegan

The 30 Minute Vegan

Thug Kitchen

The Lusty Vegan (my sister bought this one for me)

One-Dish Vegan

Fresh From the Vegan Slow Cooker

Vegan Brunch (second most used, the muffin recipes in here are crazy easy to customize)

Vegan Yum Yum

Twelve Months of Monastery Soups (not blatantly vegan, but almost entirely so)

The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook (My most used, and longest owned, the best of all. All super simple ingredients, only non-vegan ingredient mentioned is honey on occasion)

Isa's brunch book. It's a must-have!
http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Brunch-Homestyle----Asparagus/dp/0738212725/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451181511&sr=8-1&keywords=isa+brunch

Veganomicon followed by Vegan Brunch as a close second. That Isa is amazing! Nearly every recipe I've tried (and I've tried tons) has been amazing and she mostly uses simple ingredients and many of the recipes are quick and easy. I'm obsessed with the vegan omelets in Vegan Brunch and the Tofu Florentine and Jelly Donut Cupcakes in Veganomicon.

Isa's method in her Vegan Brunch cookbook is great. You basically roll it up in foil like a Toostie Roll and steam it. Super easy and she includes multiple recipes.

I make a simple recipe from this book.

Finely slice about half a cabbage (the pointy kind are best), stirfry in olive oil until starting to get crispy. Turn the heat down and add a thinly sliced garlic clove. Fry until cooked, then add juice and zest of half a lemon.

Cook ~200g orzo. Toast 1 tbsp pine nuts. Mix it all together and eat. Serves two people, we often double it.

> I'd like to make vegan omelets and I'm hoping to find some clever way to do it.

Check out Vegan Brunch. There is a great omelet recipe in there.

It's the recipe from Vegan With a Vengeance. If you don't have it, I really recommend picking it up.

This is not a cookbook but a single recipe. It is so delicious though that I felt I needed to share it with you. I loved tacos when I was non-vegan and thought I would have to live without. Then I found this recipe. My non-vegan boyfriend told me these were the best tacos I have ever made, meaty or non-meaty. Good luck with your vegan cooking adventure!

Ok, for my cookbook recommendation I like this one. It is full of brunchy deliciousness.

Confirmed:

>What do your Eggs Benedict say about your notions of class?

>Every weekend, in cities around the world, bleary-eyed diners wait in line to be served overpriced, increasingly outré food by hungover waitstaff. For some, the ritual we call brunch is a beloved pastime; for others, a bedeviling waste of time. But what does its popularity say about shifting attitudes towards social status and leisure? In some ways, brunch and other forms of conspicuous consumption have blinded us to ever-more-precarious employment conditions. For award-winning writer and urbanist Shawn Micallef, brunch is a way to look more closely at the nature of work itself and a catalyst for solidarity among the so-called creative class.

I would recommend finding a "kids lunch" cookbook like this. That really helped me when I was new to making kids lunches every day, to get some ideas besides pb&j and a bananna! My son has helped pack his own lunch since the 1st grade. Of course when he was younger, I did most of the work! But we would sit down together every weekend & make a lunch plan for the week where he picked what he wanted. It really helps with the grocery shopping too (not buying unnecessary stuff). Anyhow, when he was in grade school, every night I would make the main part (sandwich, wrap, pasta, ect.) & he would add the sides (fruit, veggie, chips, ect.). Now that he is older (13), we still make the weekly lunch plan & he makes his own lunch every night. Well, nobody's perfect, so not every night! We all as single parents have those days where it's easier to stuff cash in their backpack, right?
