Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 Hi all. One of my favorites is Mollie Katzen's Vegetable Heaven : Over 200 Recipes for Uncommon Soups, Tasty Bites, Side-By-Side Dishes, and Too Many Desserts. The Panzanella (especially if made with vegetables/herbs fresh from the garden is to die for!) Also, the Vegetarian Times cookbooks are great.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2000 Report Share Posted October 21, 2000 when i am hard pressed for time and i have some veggies on hand i make veggie/tofu or seitan burritos or wraps. i also usually like to keep a batch of hummus on hand (or make it, it only takes a minute), and i will make wraps with hummus and tomatoes, fresh herds and field greens. if i am feeling very adventurous and i have extra time i will saute mushrooms and add those too. and i love couscous. i make couscous (5 minute) with veg stock or tomato juice, then add a dice of scallions, peppers, herbs, and throw in canned corn and frozen peas or soybeans. if i make it with water then i add a bit of citrus juice as well. smack some spices in there and pow! dinner. couscous with field green salad on the side is nice. other quickies i use are mock chicken salads, and i love tofu sandwiches rueben style. i just slice the tofu and coat it with nutritional yeast on each side, " fry " in a nonstick pan till hot and slightly browned and then serve with kraut on a whole wheat bread with russian or french dressing (annie's is good). or we just skip the kraut and top with tomatoes, lettuce, honey mustard, whatever we have in the fridge. welcome to the list! lau. - " Jacque Shannon-McNulty " <jacque Saturday, October 21, 2000 8:12 PM Re: recipe booka > Hi!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2000 Report Share Posted October 21, 2000 Hi! My name is Jacque. I'm the mother of two and the head chef in a home with a meat eater (compromise: I don't cook it, we go out or order in if he really wants it). Both my girls are veg (one's not had solid food yet, at 5 mos. the other's almost 3) I have been veg for 7 or 8 years now (admittedly, with some seafood here and there) and love gourmet cooking. With two kids however, more often than not, the order of the day is " Mama I'm hungry NOWWWWW ! " I am very interested in the ideas that are brewing for a good dinner in a pinch. Here are my 3 favorite vegetarian cookbooks (and believe you me, I have many): _French Vegetarian Cooking_ by Paola Gavin Wonderful and often simple Excellent veg French Onion Soup recipe, among many others. I use it all the time. _Field of Greens: New Vegetarian Recipes from the Celebrated Restaurant_ by Annie Somerville Elegant and creative, an absolute treasure. Wonderful for ideas to stir your own imagination. _Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day_ by the Moosewood Collective Good, solid cookbook with a delicious muffin recipe. I make homemade muffins for Sunday brunch sometimes. Here are a couple of tricks that I use for regular dinners in a pinch: 1. Omelettes. (Sorry, vegans.) Great because they are so versatile and so quick. You can load 'em up with any veggies you happen to have in the fridge or just sprinkle them with a fines herbs mixture (a french herb mix with 4 herbs, often available at the grocery). In France, where I lived for almost 2 years, they eat omlettes as a lunch, quick dinner or a snack all the time with a side of fries. When I make them, I serve a simple green salad with balsamic vinaigrette (olive oil and balsamic vinegar mixed) and a side of store-bought veggie sausage. 2. Mac and cheese. (Not batting so well with the vegans here, am I? ;-) ) I use Annie's natural boxed mac and cheese, and toss in cubed extra-firm tofu with pasta to boil, then at the end of the boiling, I toss in chopped kale or broccoli and cook for 1 or 2 min. more. I drain it all, mix the yogurt and the " cheese " packet together in the pot, then add in the pasta/tofu/kale or broc from the colander. Sprinkle with pepper and it's dinner! 3. Boca burgers. (There actually is a vegan offering, here! :-) ). A broiler, whole wheat buns, a slice of cheese, Boca burgers (my all-time favorite veg burger, frozen, available at the grocery ). Side of green salad. Nice, quick dinner. There are others, but they tend to be spontaneous creations (Let's see...what's going to go bad if I don't use it in the next couple of days...AHAA! What can I do with tomatoes and asparagus?) One quick-dinner trick that I do have and would like to share is basic, but helpful. I cook when I'm in the mood and make enough for later. I make a quiche or soup and double the recipe. Leftovers are great 2 days later for dinner, with a different side. Soup also generally freezes well and is a wonderful treat for an exhausted evening meal. Thank you all for your wonderful ideas! I look forward to learning lots from you.
