Middle Eastern cuisine has a lot of meat dishes but not nearly so much dairy, and the vegetarian dishes tend to also be vegan: falafel, hummus, Jerusalem salad, Persian salad, maklouba, baba ghannoush.
South Asian cuisine tends to be vegetarian and the dairy is usually ghee (sub in olive oil or another liquid vegetable fat). 90% of the recipes are already vegan-friendly: Chana masala, tarka dal, aloo gobi are my favorites. And if you do come across a meat dish, sub in green jackfruit and you’ll have a good time.
Sure, but if people are explicitly asking for vegan cookbooks, I don’t think they’d enjoy having a bunch of the recipes feature meat and even more some form of dairy
At least you’d want recipes that have known working vegan substitutes, so you don’t have to experiment yourself. You very often can’t just randomly substitute ingredients 1:1 and expect a good result
You don’t need a vegan cookbook, you just need Middle Eastern and South Asian cookbooks.
are you sure? From what I know about the cuisines there they do use a lot of dairy and a fair bit of meat.
I could be wrong, though
