New vegan products are flooding store shelves, and chain restaurants are consistently adding plant-based options. Allow us to present— vegan cookbooks 2017!

There’s also a guide designed to help people over 40 transition to a vegan lifestyle, an author who healed her own illness with a plant-powered diet, and a famous vegan restaurant’s first cookbook.
