Best Cookbooks:
1. Ms Cupcake: The Naughtiest Vegan Cakes in Town
My all-time favourite sweet treat cookbook! Not overly complex and usually easy to find ingredients.
The cookies and cupcakes are my go-to for impressing non-vegan friends and showing them how tasty vegan desserts can be!
2. Speedy BOSH!: Over 100 New Quick and Easy Plant-Based Meals in 30 Minutes
The fourth cookbook release from Sunday Times No.1 bestselling authors Henry and Ian, aka ‘the vegan Jamie Olivers’.
This book is perfect for someone who likes to have the newest cookbooks. It will also be a thoughtful gift for someone who works long hours or doesn’t like to spend ages in the kitchen.

Rachel has one of the most beautiful Instagram feeds and her recipes always look delicious! The recipes in her debut cookbook are also inspired by her Caribbean and African roots.
4. Gaz Oakley Plants-Only Kitchen: Over 70 delicious, super-simple, powerful & protein-packed recipes for busy people
In my opinion, Gaz is the king of vegan youtube cooking videos! He has all the knowledge from his previous experience being a professional chef but he makes his videos super easy to follow along for even a newbie in the kitchen.
5. One Pot Vegan: 80 quick, easy and delicious plant-based recipes from the creators of SO VEGAN
Having been to an online cooking class with Roxy from SO VEGAN, I can say first hand how fab her recipes are! This ‘One Pot’ cookbook is super to be a winner with students or those sharing a kitchen.
6. Vegan Fakeaway: Plant-based takeaway classics for the ultimate night in
As a nation of takeaway lovers, a lot of us have been loving the ‘fakeaway’ this year during lockdown and this book will be your ultimate guide if you want to recreate the takeaway feeling from your own home.
Best for the Foodie:
7. The Vegan Bakes: Delicious freshly baked goods by post
Get 15% off your first order with code ‘BADASSBAKES’
Not only are these the most DELICIOUS brownies I’ve ever had (not even the best vegan brownies, just hands down the best brownies ever!) but when you support TVB you are also supporting a female-owned, small business!
What should you order? I recommend the Biscuit Brownie Trio. It is perfect for when you can’t decide what to try first and would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves chocolatey treats.
8. Vegan Sweets

9. Booja Booja Chocolate Truffles
Booja-Booja is known for its luxury chocolate truffles and ice cream. They do a range of truffle products, from a mini pack of two to these big boxes of mixed flavours and a medium box of 6. So they will have something to suit your budget, whether you want a cheap £2-5 stocking filler or a big selection box with all the flavours.
My personal favourite flavours are the salted caramel and the hazelnut!
10. Coffee Machine Pods
If you know someone with a coffee machine you could introduce them to reusable coffee pods. This is more environmentally friendly AND it will save your friend or family member money! Gift these together with their favourite ground coffee for a thoughtful and sustainably-minded present.
11. Baileys Almande Liqueur
A great present for anyone who loved Baileys but is now vegan or dairy-free.
Would also be great in a luxury vegan hot chocolate. You could even buy them a few extras, such as vegan marshmallows, soy whipped cream and chocolate buttons. Read my post on HOW TO MAKE LUXURY VEGAN HOT CHOCOLATE for more inspiration on what to include with your vegan Baileys.
12. Tofu Press
A great gift for a tofu lover or someone who loves Asian cooking, as a lot of my favourite tofu recipes are Asian inspired!
Read my post on HOW TO COOK TOFU LIKE A PRO for more inspiration on what to serve tofu with. You could even print out a few of your favourite recipes with tofu and include them in the gift to add a personal touch.
13. A set of great knives
Good knives are a must for ease of cooking! This Wüsthof Gourmet Cook’s Starter Set is recommended by the king of vegan YouTube Gaz Oakley. So give the gift of speedy prep times and more enjoyable cooking experiences.
14. Air Fryer
Everyone I know who has got an air fryer has RAVED about it how much they love it. You could also print out some recipes for a few delicious looking meals to include in the gift.

A luxury present idea for anyone who loves to bake or spend a lot of time in the kitchen. And I’m sure this will be something they can cherish and use for years to come.
16. LE CREUSET Signature Casserole Dish
A great present idea for anyone moving house or anyone who loves to host dinner parties. These dishes are such high quality they can last a lifetime – My mum even has one that is almost as old as me!

20. Doughnut Tin
I feel like a doughnut tin isn’t necessarily something you would buy yourself (I mean I did, haha, but I don’t think it’s super common to have in your kitchen cupboards). I think these would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves baking.
Best Stocking Fillers (Under £10):
21. Lush Bath Bombs
Prices of the Lush bath bombs range from £2.50 to £6.95 each, which makes them the ideal stocking filler present for a budget. Or you could choose a few bits and bobs and present them all together nicely in a decorated shoe box to create your own personalised Lush gift box!
