I'd love to cook more vegetarian meals since it seems that we all eat too much meats. With this new goal in mind, I checked my bookcase in search of new ideas, to discover I have no books on vegetarian cooking.

With the holidays are fast approaching a vegetarian cookbook would be a great addition to my wish list. Not nothing much on this topic, I was wondering if someone would have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I couldn't find any reference for Vegetables Unplugged. Would you know the authour? If not, would you have another title to suggest?


Thanks

"Ultimate Vegetarian Cookbook" by Paul Gayler from DK Publishing is worth a look. It is colorful, informative, and quite innovative in some of their recipes. It is part of a series of "Ultimate" books. The ones I purchased are all very good. Especially the "Ultimate Bread Book".Check it out.

Lorraine,


Thank you for the suggestion. I will look it up. I'd also be interested in the Ultimate bread book. I would really love to start making more bread.


Thanks

Sisi, Charlie Trotter has a excellent vegetarian cookbook. Although it is pretty complex in it's recipes, It does offer seasonal ideas as well as great pic's

Moosewood (the orginial)
it's the most used and loved.
I have probably 3 dz veg books but don't really use them....I end up adapting non veg to veg....What types of things do you want to make? I can give you ideas....not "measured recipes"

[Isa]

Thank you all for the suggestions. I put them on my list, one can always wish for things at this time of year...

Shroomgirl,

I am not looking for anything on particular at this point, just for some ways to cut down my meat intake and eat more grains and veggies.

SAMS has a combo book from Graham Green on Grains and Greens...I already have his grain book and it's wonderful...anyway this duo was like $13.50 hardback...He was great in his descriptions....especially with at the time more obscure grains.

"Sundays at Moosewood" is the best of the Moosewoods, in my estimation... not only vegetarian but an array from a dozen different cultures... from tofu sheperd's pie with mushroom gravy (England) to African peanut soup to Indian lentil dhal and other basics...

Really smashing, simple and satisfying.

Sisi: If you didn't know, Nicko can add just about any book to the Cheftalk bookshelf if you want to support the site by buying through Cheftalk.

Shroomgirl, This set box seems to be unavailable here, and the two book by themselves are out of print. Just my luck. If I may ask what is Sam Club?

Live to cook the Moosewood cookbook sound great. Of all the Moosewood cookbook why is this one your favourite?

I know Nicko could get any book for me. Unfortunately my dollar is so weak compare to yours that it makes it impossible for me to shop in the US.

I added the titles to my wish list. If I ever win the lottery I'll order all those books at once. Maybe I should start buying tickets….

[shroomgirl]

Not a box set...they just combined two books into one...go figure?! Sams is a "wholesale" normally large quantity store owned by Walmart...for only $30 a year you can buy shtuff cheap....Fresh flowers, wine, meats, cheese, breads, clothing, furniture, tires, shtuff.....I use it for certain things...it's usually got prices that can't be beat....and it's nice that they started carrying higher quality products.

Thanks Shroomgirl, we only have Costco here. Is there another book on grains that you would recommand?
