There have been some fantastic vegan cookbooks to come out this year. One that I (Leigh) have been particularly excited about is 500 Vegan Recipes by Celine Steen and Joni Marie Newman.

Also be sure to check out Celine's food blog Have Cake Will Travel, and find Joni Marie Newman at Just The Food.
