'Vegetarian Christmas' by Rose Elliot. Not exclusively vegan but there is a plethora of vegan delights included and most of the lacto-ovo recipes are easily 'veganisable'. Our favourite Christmas dinner of Chestnut and Red wine pate en croute is one of many included here along with lots of advice on taking the work out of Christmas catering. This book is full of ideas for lots of special touches which can be prepared early and frozen - a firm favourite with us and lots to please everyone. Now out of print but the hardcover is available cheaply at both the UK and USA Amazons below and has lots of lovely photographs throughout! We love this book so much we even wrote a blog post on it!
