Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hey Everyone: I am new to the list and was looking for suggestions on a good vegetarian cookbook. Doesn't have to be vegan. Probably best if it isn't. I am trying to make the transition from a meat-eater to a vegetarian and going without eggs/milk as well might just be too big an adjustment to start with. I need kid friendly recipes, have a 6 and a 4 year old. I really don't like to cook much and often get into a rut of quick and easy convenience type foods. So I also need recipes that are easy and simple to prepare. Chapters Bookstore is having a 30% off on-line sale. Though I would much prefer to wander around the actual store for a few hours looking at books I have a two month old as well so on-line shopping probably works best right now. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Moosewood Restaurant cooks at home has a number of fairly quick recipes. I found that they took a little longer the first time I prepared them, but after that I could make most of them in a half hour. My kids love the couscous paella, coconut basmati rice, chickpeas, and a bunch of other recipes from that cookbook.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 In terms of ease and consistent results, my favorite would have to be the Compassionate Cook. Its one of PETA's cookbooks and we just love it.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Lisa, In response to your inquiry about vegetarian cookbooks, I can wholeheartedly recommend The Peaceful Palate by Jennifer Raymond. This book was originally self-published and available only in selected San Francisco-area bookstores, but a more commercial edition is now offered by Amazon and also VRG, I believe. It is vegan but the recipes are simple, delicious, and easy to make. Jennifer is a wonderful cooking teacher whom I had the pleasure of meeting in the early 1990s when I took her class. I own many veg*n cookbooks, but The Peaceful Palate is the one I use the most -- my copy is falling apart but I don't know what I'd do without it. Jennifer's skill and good sense, as well as her grace and compassion, come through in every recipe. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Hi Lisa, I love 150 Vegan Favorites by Jay Solomon. They are simple and delicious recipes - most are one-pot type of meals. I also have many of my favorite recipes on my website at: http://www.healthymomshealthyfamilies.com/ I have a 6 & 3 year old AND I hated cooking before I became veg*n. Cooking is now much less of a chore than it used to be - and I enjoy eating the food so much, that I actully don't mind the cooking part. A friend just picked up a new cookbook called " Vegan Planet " which looks really great too by Robin Robertson.
