Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Before I was a vegetarian, we went to a book sale and I saw this book Practical Vegetarian Cookery or Pracitcal Cookery Vegetarian. It didn't have a cover, but as I looked thru the pages I was so impressed. It gave calories and protein and fat and basically, everything except fiber content. One day I noticed that the pages in the index went a little further than I actually had, so the last little section of pages bound on had come off with the cover. I loved this so much that I went on ebay and bought another one, just to get those last few pages. Published by Parragon. It's kind of confusing because of the way they disply the word VEGETARIAN, sometimes it's between Practical Cookery and sometimes it's after those 2 words, like on the spine. Could be adapted to Vegan if one wanted. The cover has a pastry type square with veggies jutting out from under the top piece of the pastry that is like a lid on top them. I really think it's the least attractive pic in the whole book, so don't know why they made it the cover! http://blogs.delphiforums.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?webtag=cozy_at_home & nav=start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi, Have you tried your local library? I checked out several titles to see if I liked them and then purchased the ones I liked from Amazon.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Very good idea and don't forget to drop by local thrift shops on the weekend early in the morning. I have picked up many great vegetarian cookbooks for a dollar or two. Jeff , <stephanielow wrote: > > Hi, > > Have you tried your local library?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 If you have a Half Price Bookstore in your area, go there. I bought home about 10 different veg*n cookbooks from there, and 2 of them were just beans! I'm still pawing my way thru them in wonder and don't know enough about them to recommend anything yet. http://blogs.delphiforums.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?webtag=cozy_at_home & nav=start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I'd say 85% of my cookbooks are from library book sales and thrift shops. I rarely ever buy a new one.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 If you are buying your cookbooks used, what would make you think it was a good one?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Nope, that is wrong, think hard about it. Many people buy them in hopes of becoming vegetarian and never used the books because they either tried the lifestyle and decided it wasn't for them, maybe they were going to try but never did or did for a short time and never cooked anything but frozen veg. foods. You have no idea how many wonderful vegetarian cookbooks I have found. I have passed many of the duplicates to members of the group. In the past year I found Tassajara bread cookbook, Laurel's bread cookbook and that is a classic, Vegetarian Times cookbook, 2 different Moosewood cookbooks I sent to members, 2 Mollie Katzen cookbooks, Vegetarian Epicure, and several tofu cookbooks, even two great Chinese vegetarian cookbooks. I had a woman on Freecycle give me the Linda MacCartney collection, she bought them in hopes of trying the diet and then after a few months gave up. The thrift shop is the place to look. if you go early you have a much better chance of finding cookbooks before it gets crowded.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I find all good vegetarian cookbooks in the thrift shops, many look brand new. One of my favorites is a used Passionate Vegetarian cookbook. It's huge, heavy as the yellow pages. I got that book for $2.00 and I use it quite a bit.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I too m new and transitioning. First I went to the library and checked out vegetarian books,side dishes etc. Then I went to a new/used book store and got a great book that I just love -- 1,001 low-fat vegetarian recipes 2nd edition by Sue Spitler for $9.99. Since I don't like tofu and most cookbooks have too much of that, this book is perfect. It does have tofu, but with 1,001 recipes, you can't beat it. I've probably dog earred more than half to try.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 The Vegetarian 5 Ingredient Gourmet by Nava Atlas (already mentioned ) is great, especially if you are transitioning- quick easy recipes. Also the Vegetarian express Lane cookbook by Sarah Fritschner is good for quick easy meals. ~Danielle , " rivendellarabs411 " <rivendellarabs411 wrote: > > Does anyone have any Vegetarian cookbooks they would recommend?
