If you are in the SoCal/Los Angeles area, there are a few vegan and vegetarian meetup groups that meet regularly and have quite the respectable turnout:

Vegan Drinks is the biggest:

Vegan/Veggie Women's Meetup:

The newest cookbook to my collection is the American Vegan Kitchen and it has been pretty reliable when it comes to home-cookin' like foods. Call me a less evolved vegan, but I still fancy a good, greasy Hamburger Helper recreation now and again.

I think we'll have to check these out (especially since I just moved to L.A.). Although I think the 2nd meetup would be out for me... wonder if there is a queer vegan/veggie meetup...
