Oh She Glows is a vegan recipe website that has been around for a long time and it's filled with plenty of delicious vegan recipes. The person behind the website created this cookbook, to share even more recipes.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

If you have a new baker on your list, this set contains all the basic and most popular baking pans to get their collection started. This commercial grade and heavy gauge bakeware set will last for years.

The set includes one of the following: 17 x 12.25 Inch Cookie Sheet, 17.25 x 12.25 Inch Half Sheet, 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.75 Inch Loaf Pan, 9 x 13 x 2.25 Inch Rectangular Cake Pan, an 8 x 8 x 2.25 Inch Square Cake Pan, and a 12 Cup Muffin Pan.

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.

I have whipped up many waffles in my kitchen with my reliable, inexpensive waffle maker. I love this waffle maker because it's Teflon-free, easy to clean, and very reliable.

If someone on your list loves waffles, this is the perfect gift to give them.

I have a small, medium, and large scoop and I love them all. The large does double duty for muffin making.

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!)

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.

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.

This cute veggie print apron will make your favourite vegan cook look stylish as they prepare delicious vegan recipes (and keep their clothing mess-free!). If you don't like the print in the image, there are many others to choose from in the listing!

This is a great idea to add to your gift ideas for vegan foodies list as a stocking stuffer or a "just because" gift (or a treat yourself gift!)

Cocomels are delicious vegan caramels made with coconut milk (my favourite is the sea salt cocomels!). Anyone, vegan or not, will love them!
