I don't know if anyone else noticed this but sometimes recipes in Vegetarian

Times don't turn out good. I've had that problem with their first edition

cookbook too.

RE: Your recommendations for best vegetarian or

vegan books?

 

 

The ones I go back to time and again are The Moosewood Cookbook (2nd Edition),

Moosewood Cooks at

Home, and The Compaissonate Cook by Ingrid Newkirk (this is the PETA cookbook).

They have some of

the best basic vegan & vegetarian recipes I've ever found.

 

I would buy another copy of The Vegetarian Times Cookbook just for the Pad Thai

recipe. I haven't

found as good a one since. (I had the first edition and the index didn't match

up with the recipes,

ultimately extremely frustrating! So I gave it away - no point in keeping a

cookbook around that

size, if you can't find anything in it!).

 

For more exotic tastes, I have a wonderful cookbook called Lord Krishna's

Cuisine. Don't let the

title put you off. This is an OUTSTANDING East Indian cookbook. I'd also highly

recommend Madhur

Jaffey's World Vegetarian.

 

My sister gave me a copy of The Garden of Vegan a couple of years ago. I've

tried a few things from

it and so far I am not disappointed :)

 

Those are just a few of the maybe 50 recipe books I have.

 

Hope that helped :)

My favourite vegetarian cookbook so far (apart from Madhur Jeffrey's Eastern

Vegetarian Cooking) is Lorna Sass's Shortcut Vegetarian: every recipe I

tried from it turned out delicious, as well as easy and quick to prepare (a

necessity for me 5 nights out of 7!). I have another few of her books, but

that's the best one, IMHO.

Specifically, what is the best how to book you know of and what is

your favorite cookbook? And why? I want to build a library for this

new way of eating, and I have a few books, but I don't have a good how

I would recommend The New Becoming Vegetarian: The Essential Guide To A Healthy

Vegetarian Diet by Vesanto Melina and Brenda Davis as a very good how to book.

I've only been vegetarian for a year and a half and I have learned so much from

it. I haven't tried any of the recipes in it because I'm not big on trying new

recipes. For me, being vegetarian is about becoming more ethical by not eating

animals and leaving less of an environmental footprint. But even though I did

not become vegetarian for health reasons, I have lost weight and noticed better

health in general. This book is big on nutritional information, which is useful.

It's a very good introduction on the why's and how's. Something I like about it

is that the authors, who also wrote Becoming Vegan, clearly believe vegan is the

way to go, which I also believe, and they present the case that it's not much

harder to be vegan than vegetarian. That inspires me, even though I'm not there

yet, because I don't actually like most vegetables. But as I learn more about

legumes, which I love, I know I'll be able to become vegan someday.
