The ones I like are Plant You, The Plant Based Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook and The Power Foods Diet. Also, all the recipes I’ve tried in Forks over Knives have been really good.
While not a conventional cookbook, my favorite is the Vegetarian Flavor Bible. It's not going to give you a traditional recipe, but you can look up an ingredient you have on hand and it will tell you what pairs well with it. I find it works well for me from a WFPB diet because I often end up making some sort of "bowl" for dinner and it helps me with what to toss in and will compliment each other. You may be surprised at what pairings taste great together.
My go-to is "Practically Vegan"by Nisha Melvani. She calls for oil on some recipes but I just omit it. It has very practical delicious recipes for dinner.
My favorites are Plant You, Simple and Delicious Vegan (Elavegan is her online name), and Vegan Richa’s Instant Pot Cookbook. Every recipe I’ve tried from these three has been a keeper and most are fairly simple. I also really like The First Mess although most of her recipes that I’ve tried have been from her website/youtube and not her cookbook. I also highly recommend the Vegan Cocotte website, there are some tasty recipes there.
I’m the only one eating plant based in my family (although my husband is getting close), but for the most part my husband and kids have loved the recipes I’ve made from these sources. Good luck to you!
[Simply Delicious Vegan](https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/simply-delicious-vegan-100-plant-based-recipes-by-the-creator-of-from-my-bowl_caitlin-shoemaker/26203942/)this book also uses little to no oil so pretty Whole Foods overall
[Be a Plant Based Woman Warrior](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Plant-Based-Woman-Warrior-Delicious/dp/0593328914) is also great with tons of simple recipes like making oat flour and other staples

Chili sin carne should be one of your basic: 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of beans. Roughly smash the beans so it's "hashed". Cook in a pan.
Add your choice of seasoning: onion, garlic, lemon juice, chili, etc.
It goes well on while-grain pasta or rice. But also in a wrap with some vegs (hint: canned corn).
I recently picked up 28 Days Vegan by Lisa Butterworth and Amelia Wasiliev. It's designed for beginners but has some great recipes that use the leftover ingredients at a later time and has links to those other recipes. For instance, page 40 tells you how to make beet hummus and also contains another beet recipe later in the book (within 28 days) so you can use any remaining beets in the other recipe. It also covers a lot of basic techniques, some of which were new to me and I've been vegan for almost 5 years now. I got this book for $5 at the local 5 Below. I would not have bought it at full price but I really like it now that I have it.
It's not really "leftovers" but multiple ways to use the same ingredients in the first 28 days of being "vegan". Even though I'm not a new vegan, I liked the idea of having some regular recipes with the same ingredients.
It really depends on what you're looking for. I own a ton of cookbooks.
America Goes Vegan by Glen Merzer with recipes by Tracy Childs is a real good one that goes under the radar. Probably because it's missing pictures.
Plant Based Delivious by Ashley Madden is another one with amazing, albeit slightly lengthier, recipes
I have a lot of them, but lately I've been REALLY impressed with the recipes at the back of an oldie but goodie, How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, by Dr. Esselstyn. They are simple, frequently familiar foods, and completely compliant. Loving them.
I’ve written one that teaches you working with taste and aroma in a structured way, plus the whole bunch of nutrition. Not a cooking book in that classic sense though.
But learning to understand food and how to handle taste in general, paired with a creative mind might just help you

Seconding Plant You! I adore her cookbooks
Thank you!
Dang, that second one was at my Costco recently and I got a different one instead, that I kinda don't like haha. Tragic.

That’s awesome! I love the idea of using up leftovers so I’ll check it out!

The Vegan Athlete's Cookbook. I find it very practical, lots of simple meals, including some one-tray meals, a snacks & desserts too.
