But these titles are shelf-worthy even if you're not living that meat-free life. There are plenty of rationales for introducing more vegetable-forward dishes into your diet, whether they be rooted in health or environmental concerns.

In Europe and much of the US, Mexican cuisine is viewed as “greasy, unhealthy and unbalanced, with little variety and excess sugar”, writes author and cook Margarita Carrillo Arronte in her new book. This view is patentlly false, as Arronte, a chef and TV host who successfully campaigned for Mexican cuisine to be entered into UNESCO”s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, well knows. And the recipes for home cooks have improved dramatically, too, and with it, the quality of vegan and vegetarian cookbooks. Today, the category is bursting with varied titles that span a wide range of cuisines and dining styles, from breezy California-focused plates to intricate Japanese dishes. Whether you’re vegan or vegetarian, these cookbooks help to elevate ho-hum vegetable-based meals into certified celebrations.
