Nutritious and Delicious!
If you are just starting out learning to cook vegan, I would highly recommend Nava Atlas's book 'The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet'. It's great for beginners because all recipes have only 5 ingredients to deal with, and most are vegan (or can be made vegan). Another good book of hers is called 'Vegan Express'. I'd start here and then graduate on to others (such as books by Lorna Sass - the New Vegan Cookbook).

I would recommend Vegetarian Times magazine, and How to Cook Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman. Both of these contain lots of good vegan recipes.
