Good stuff. Part-copying an earlier post of mine:
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.
Unfortunately, they don't seem to have info on the books on their web-site any more.
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).
If you're in London, you could do worse than visit RASA N16 first to see if you like this style of cooking.
Back when I first went there, in early 1997, it showed me how good vegetarian cuisine could be. I went vegan two years later.

+1 for bosh, unfortunately my other favorite book isn’t available in English.
Instead of me flinging random recipes at you, could you make a meal planner of what you already eat in a week, or what you want to eat next week? Then it’s so easy to fill in and point you to good vegan versions.
Here’s a version of our week:
Monday: soup
Tuesday: pasta
Wednesday: poke bowl
Thursday: Indian
Friday: burgers
Saturday: Asian
Sunday: falafel -
I've vaguely been doing this.
One thing I did find was that you have to be much more organized in terms of shopping. You can't necessarily just nip into the local shop and pick up something decent.

Hi all,
I was hoping to get some guidance from you all as to where I can find a variety of vegan recipes/ what the best cookbooks are.
My partner and I are both meat eaters. We have reduced our consumption over the past year and are now looking to dip our toes into a fully plant based diet. We have agreed that we will try a two week stint to give it a go and see if it works with our lifestyle etc. We both enjoy cooking and food in general, so I want to make sure that (given I’ll be doing all the cooking) the food we have for these two weeks is something we enjoy and there is enough variety to convince my partner and myself that we could do this longer term.
Where is the best place to look? I am struggling to find where to look. There are a mass of faddy, Instagram meal plans that I don’t think will work so would appreciate the advice of the forum. I have flicked through some of the history of the chat but haven’t seen anything obvious.
Thank you all!
