    If you're looking for foodie gifts for the vegan in your life, then this list of gifts for vegan cooks will give you plenty of ideas your food-loving vegan friends and family members will love.

    Whether you're looking for holiday / Christmas gifts or birthday gifts, there's something in this list they'll love, so keep reading for the suggestions!

    Coming up with gift ideas for others isn't something that's always easy, which is why I've put together this list of gifts for vegan cooks.

    You can go the food gift route, which is always fun and delicious, but if you're looking for non-food gifts for vegans, I have a few ideas for you.

    Being someone who spends a large amount of time in my kitchen, I know a little about this topic (OK, I know A LOT!), so I think most, if not all, of these gift ideas for vegan cooks, will appeal to your friends and loved ones who love to spend time in the kitchen.

    3 Other Great Things About This List of Gifts for Vegan Cooks...

    1) These suggestions are not only good for vegan foodies, they're great for any food-loving cook (even non-vegans!) you're shopping for (including yourself!). Who wouldn't want to receive these things?!

    2) You can buy everything from home. There's no need to go out to the store, all the gift buying can happen right from the comfort of your couch. All of these vegan gifts can be found on Amazon, I've included links to bring you directly there.

    3) All of my suggestions are for items I already own and love and have no problem recommending because they're trustworthy and good quality.

    Now, on to the gift ideas!

    Gifts for Vegan Cooks

    Cookbooks

    Cookbooks are one of the best gifts for vegan friends, family, and anyone who enjoys cooking. I love cookbooks and chances are, so does the vegan cook on your list! Here are a few of my favourites:

    Minimalist Baker's Everyday Cooking

    Minimalist Baker's Everyday Cooking

    Every recipe (all 101 of them!) in this book requires 10 ingredients or less, can be made in one bowl, and they all come together quickly.

    You'll find hearty entrées, easy sides, nourishing breakfasts, and decadent dessert recipes that all have easy-to-follow, step-by-step recipes with standard and metric ingredient measurements.

    It contains a wide range of recipes to choose from like 15-minute creamy avocado pasta to crave-worthy desserts such as chilled chocolate espresso torte and so much more.

    Living Vegan For Dummies

    Living Vegan For Dummies

    Even though this is not strictly a recipe book, it contains PLENTY of easy recipes that new and not-so-new vegans will love.

    Kitchen Tools and Gadgets

    Small Grinder

    Electric Grinder for Beans, Spices and More

    Electric Grinder for Beans, Spices and More

    I own this small grinder, not to grind coffee beans, but to grind flax seeds. Vegan baking often calls for an egg replacement, and my go-to is the vegan flax egg.

    This grinder is also great for grinding chia seeds for smoothies and other baked recipes.

    Food Processor

    8 Cup Food Processor

    8 Cup Food Processor

    A food processor is an extremely handy appliance to have in the kitchen and it's essential for preparing many vegan recipes and staples like sauces, nut butter, hummus, seitan, chia puddings, and more!

    Cast Iron Pans

    Pre-Seasoned 2-Piece Cast Iron Skillet Set

    Pre-Seasoned 2-Piece Cast Iron Skillet Set

    Any home cook, vegan or not, should have a good, naturally non-stick cast iron pan in their kitchen. And it's the gift that keeps on giving because, if taken care of, a cast iron pan can last for decades.

    This is a set of two cast iron pans, a smaller one for small recipes and a larger one for larger recipes.

    Ice Cream Maker

    Ice Cream Maker

    Ice Cream Maker

    There are so many vegan ice cream recipes out there and to make them, an ice cream maker will be needed. This is the one I own, I've had it for well over 5-years, and it's still going strong.

    And if you're lucky, you may be on the receiving end of some of the ice cream your friend or family member makes with it!

    Instant Pot

    Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, 6 Quart

    Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, 6 Quart

    This magical pressure cooking machine can do so many things, including cooking all of the best stews, soups, side dishes, rice, and even desserts in record time.

    If you do buy this for someone, you may also want to get them a cookbook specifically written for cooking in the Instant Pot since there is a tiny learning curve to working with this machine.  Find a list of the best ones here.

    Tofu Press

    Tofu Press

    Tofu Press

    A tofu press will be a much-appreciated vegan gift idea for anyone who currently presses their tofu between a stack of books or underneath a heavy pan filled with cans!

    A tofu press will make things easier and more convenient for your vegan foodie when it comes to getting all of the water out of a block of tofu.

    Nut Milk Bag

    Organic Cotton Reusable Nut Milk Bag

    Organic Cotton Reusable Nut Milk Bag

    If you have someone on your list who loves to make plant-based milk, then a nut milk bag is a must-have for separating the pulp from the milk.

    This is a smaller item, so it would be great as a small gift, a stocking stuffer, or to go along with another gift.

    Spiralizer

    Tabletop Spiralizer

    Tabletop Spiralizer

    Vegan or not, a spiralizer is a great tool to have in the kitchen. It makes salads more fun and adds creativity to dishes. Add this to your list of great gifts for vegan cooks!

    USA Pan Bakeware Aluminized Steel Donut Pan, 6-Well

    USA Pan Bakeware Aluminized Steel Donut Pan, 6-Well

    After I bought my doughnut pan, (and started baking many, many doughnuts!), I wondered why it took me so long. I love the USA Pans brand because all of their pans are heavy-duty, the non-stick coating works perfectly (I've never had to grease any of the pieces I own), and they're all Teflon-free.

    If you're looking to buy more than a doughnut pan for yourself, or the vegan baker on your list, check out this starter set.

    Zester

    Citrus Lemon Zester and Grater

    Citrus Lemon Zester and Grater

    A zester is so helpful in the kitchen, vegan or not. And it's not just for citrus! I also use it to grate fresh nutmeg for my recipes, as needed (the flavour in freshly grated nutmeg is so much better!)

    Hand Blender / Immersion Blender

    Hand Blender / Immersion Blender

    Hand Blender / Immersion Blender

    I owned the same hand blender for over 10 years and when it decided to call it quits, this is the one I replaced it with and it's pretty amazing.

    This small appliance is perfect for blending soups to get them smooth and creamy, and it's also great for making many other recipes like salad dressings, sauces, and even salsa.

    NutriBullet

    NutriBullet

    NutriBullet

    I have made so many things with my NutriBullet blender (smoothies, sauces, and even almond cheese) and I can't imagine not having it. It even comes with a milling blade to make flour out of oats and rice.

    IMPORTANT: Note that the NutriBullet is considered a high-speed blender, but it's not as powerful as a Vitamix or Blendtec. so it cannot be used in place of those machines for certain recipes.

    Fun Apron
