The green roasting tin is spectacular!

Another vote for this book. The others in the series have a good number of veggie recipes too

As a non-chef, I find low technique recipes a god send. I've been impressed at just how tasty some simple dishes can be just with the (directed and informed) use of herbs and spices. I've had a kale and lemon pesto that was a doddle to make and transformed an otherwise ordinary dish into something special.

This is exactly it - food doesn't have to be faffy, and most times, something really simple hits the spot far better than the poncy stuff.

One of my go-to comfort foods is mejadra - a spiced mix of rice, green lentils and fried onions. It's a good accompaniment to lamb or fish, but I'm quite happy to eat it as it is.

Yes, an excellent suggestion! Rukmini Iyer creates fantastic recipes, we heavily use The Roasting Tin Atound the World.

Not vegetarian but it includes a lot of excellent vegetarian recipes that are tasty and easy to make.

I tend to use the BBC Good Food website a lot. Lots of meat recipes can be converted to vegetarian. I'm a pescetarian these days.
I tend to invent recipes too. Lasagne made with tinned ratatouille is rather nice. I make cottage pie and spaghetti Bolognese with Quorn mince. I'm also rather fond of chickpea curry.
