《素食说略》是1984年由中国商业出版社出版的图书，作者是薛宝辰。《素食说略》为清薛宝辰（陕西长安人）所著，除自序、例言外，按类别分为四卷，除记述了清朝末年比较流行的一百七十余款素食的制作方法之外，书中充分论述素食的益处：“蔬菜富有风味，清爽适口，又营养身体，无肉食腥羶之气，也不会残杀生灵，使人们欣赏到生机的乐趣，从而也遵循了「生机贵养，杀戎宜除」的佛家观点。”从素食主义的角度来看，薛宝辰在书中所提，素食本来就富有风味，既提供了清爽适口的食品，又可以保养身体。让禽鱼任意的飞翔和遨游，则可使人们欣赏到生机的乐趣。素食不但可以增口福，又可以增加人们的清福，让素席胜似盛筵，说是素食主义的最根本意义所在。《素食说略》也使大家至今仍能了解清末素食的发展状况，以启发当今事厨者，亦大有补益。
