Vegetarian Cookbook Suggestions?

Wubster042109

I thought some of you might be able to help.  My DH & I aren't vegetarians but we strictly limit our meat consumption to no more than 2x/week.  With that being the case, I'm always on the lookout for good vegetarian recipes. 

Has anyone come across any cookbooks w/ veg recipes that they've loved?

I love the Moosewood books. They are all great, but we especially love New Classics!

"Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" by Deborah Madison. It's (IMO), the only cookbook bible you'll ever need. I have hundreds of cookbooks and this one I use every day- tattered and stained!

It's a huge book but easily accessible and she allows for you to improvise with meat, if you want

Bittman's cookbooks are like Bibles in my home.

I agree, I like this one.  I have another one of her cookbooks too - Local Flavors - that is probably 75% vegetarian, and a lot of simple stuff.

I second Local Flavors, A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, and all the Moosewood cookbooks.  I have all of these and use them all the time.  A Year in a Veg Kitchen is currently my favorite, but that's probably because I just got it.  I have 6 Moosewood cookbooks and use them all frequently, but Simple Suppers is probably my favorite.  We also have a ton of recipes from Vegetarian Times magazine.  Their online recipe finder is really great, you can tell it what ingredients you have and it gives you a recipe for them!

 I second this. I LOVE this book. I use it for everything from breads, to main dishes to side dishes and desserts. Mine is also water marked and stained and I've had to glue it back together twice.

Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen.  Someone on this board recommended it to me and I love it.

The Moosewood Low Fat Cookbook

I really love Heidi Swanson (from 101cookbooks.com). She has two cookbooks, though I feel you can get most of the recipes from her blog. I have bought them because I like her blog a lot and I read that for free so I feel like I want to support her, but I would recommend starting with the blog and seeing how you like it. I don't think she posts as much as she used to, so the older stuff is better IMO. We really liked the chipotle sweet potato pot pies.

The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook is great!  I'm not a mother, but I still love it & use it more than any other cookbook I own.

My fav because I am a lousy cook but I like good quick food is the PDQ (Pretty Darn Quick) Vegetarian Cookbook:

All of Sarah Kramer and Tanya Barnard's books are great- I just made a cheesecake made from tofu from their book How It All Vegan, and it's delicious.

I like 100 Best Vegetarian Recipes by Gelles as well- delicious french onion soup.

These are my two go-to books. I have others, but they aren't nearly as good.
