Also substitute stuff, blag it and experiment.
Liquid aminos - soy sauce.
Millet - rice or whatever grains in the cupboard.
Aduki beans - any beans.
Job's tears - crywank over iPhone or grains again.
Tamari - soy sauce.
Radicchio - fuck knows, spinach? Just have beans on toast.
Fennel - fennel, it's easy to get right?
Cashew butter - peanut butter.
snottyotter-
Yeah I get that - those were just a few examples that I found poking through the only vegan cookbook that I have (Clean Food by Terry Walters). Still, if I have to spend extra time googling and trawling round shops for substitutes I'm going to be more inclined to sack it off and eat roast veg, beans, veggie sausages, bourbons, etc. again

Can anyone recommend me a cookbook? I have completely lost all my mojo for cooking which results in me not eating or eating the same unhealthy but quick stuff over and over again.
The problem is most of the recipes in cookbooks that I look at need take a two hours to cook and need weird ingredients that I struggle to find/afford. I can't reliably find liquid aminos, Job's tears, millet, aduki beans, tamari, radicchio, fennel, cashew butter, etc. in my nearest shop, which is a medium-sized Lidl. I do have a couple of Asian supermarkets down the road though.
So, vegan cookbook with cheap + common ingredients that a typical busy gardenless city-dwelling person has access to, does it exist? I'm guessing it's going to involve a lot of kidney beans and chopped tomatoes...
