I always recommend the first two RASA cookbooks. The first one is omnivorous and the second one is ovo-lacto vegetarian, but most recipes are very easy to do vegan, and there are plenty of vegan ones to start with. It's a superb style of cuisine.

The two I mean are 'Fresh Flavours of India' and 'The New Taste of India'. No need to bother with the others (they're simplified, omnivorous, and not as good).
When I made the change, I found the opposite. Had wondered if dairy was contributing to lethargy, and seemed to be the case. I'm aware that's not really helpful, but I got no science.
I've got really lazy in my cooking, so going to get a few cookbooks for inspiration. What do you guys recommend? You've been very poor so far on mince pies and ice cream, so buck your ideas up, Vegan Thread!
