cookbooks for family

[Guest guest]

I'm in the United States, so the cookbooks I'm familar with are

obviously the ones sold in this country--I don't know if any of

the following are available abroad, but for those in the USA,

here're some books I like:

 

_The Compassionate Cook: Or, 'Please Don't Eat the Animals!' A vegetarian

Cookbook_ by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals),

Warner Books, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020,

ISBN 0-446-39492-0 SOME of the recipes in here are still

sorta gourmet (for parties etc.) but I like it because most of

the recipes are pretty practial, like lentil shepard pie etc.

(all diary free). The stuff I've tried from this book have

generally been good.

 

_Table for Two: Meat- and Dairy-Free Recipes forTwo " by Joanne

Stepaniak, Book Publishing Company, ISBN 1-57067-019-6

(I *think* VRG sells this one). Recipes are for two, but could

easily be doubled. Again, lots of " practical " dishes good

for the family. Some of the recipes were " kid-tested " and appeal

to kids. I like the recipes in this book.

 

_Vegan Handbook_ published by the Vegetarian Resource Group.

A number of the recipes are 'kid tested.' I haven't really tried

much in the way of recipes from this book.

 

_Conveniently Vegan: Turn Packaged foods into Delicious

Vegetarian Dishes_ by Debra Wasserman (I believe also for

sale thru VRG) -- I haven't really used this much, but I have

a friend who swears by it (she hates to cook).
