Thanks to These 5 Cookbooks, Dairy-Free Eating Never Looked So Good

You won't find any bland dishes in Rachel Ama's vegan cookbook Rachel Ama's Vegan Eats: Tasty Plant-Based Recipes For Every Day ($24). Her straightforward, flavorful, and often one-pot recipes — inspired in part by her Caribbean and West-African roots — feature short ingredient lists that are supermarket friendly.

What really sets the cookbook apart, though, is how Ama pairs each dish with a song, so you have a playlist to enjoy while cooking up cinnamon french toast with strawberries, plantain burgers, chickpea sweet potato falafel, and Caribbean fritters.
