Vegetarian recipe book

[Rykard]

Hi,

after reading a few bits over the last few weeks I have decided to try a vegetarian diet for a while. Can anyone recommend me a good recipe book or website?

thanks in advance.

The Tassajara Cookbook is a good one, but not sure of its availability now. Avoid anything with lots of pictures.

The Vegetarian society website has some nice recipes

Madhur Jaffrey (sp?) has written some excellant veggie books

Generally full of recipes from cultures that eat veggie meals as part of their everyday diet - eg Indian

There is one we have called "Leith's Vegetarian Bible" which is pretty comprehensive.

You can just adapt meat based recipes as well which is an easy way to start, i.e. substitute quorn mince/soya mince for meat.

Also I really enjoy either massive stir fries where you can just leave out the meat or a big pile of steaming veggies and potatoes smothered in a lovely rich home-made cheese sauce, fantastic!

I find the BBC Good Food website pretty good. You can search just for vegetarian recipes.

If you can get Truly Italian from your local library, get it. It's ace.

Avoid anything with lots of pictures.

No.

There are plenty of ace recipe books with lots of pictures in, and plenty without.

My favourite is the Moosewood cookbook which is available from Amazon. It has really tasty recipes, but also encourages you to experiment with your cooking

My only word of warning was the book was originally published in the 1980's and a lot of the recipes use larger quantities of cream and cheese than you might consider to be healthy.

I believe there is a new edition which cuts down on these, but I just reduce the amounts or substitute yoghurt from cream.
