Answer 4

Moosewood Restaurants have some pretty good recipes in their books and they are pretty diverse in their dishes.  I got a copy from a friend who obviously didn't understand vegan (the thoughts were there;)), but the recipes are super easy to veganize as well!

Answer 5

Tarla Dalal is the most competent authority on veg. cookbooks

Answer 6

Check the Rodale Press.  There is a cookbook called Vegetarian Living or something like that.  I have it in my basement. If you can't find anything  let me know at yahoo.com.  I am an omnivore.

Answer 7

The internet.

Possibly the best ever cooking reference out there.

Not only does it have recipes from professionals but normal people as well so you can get both the improvised professional recipes and the proper home style ones and from all over the world.

I used to look for cook books and got bored as theres so many out there and its hard to choose which one. I now use the internet and its a great wealth of knowledge and also gives you ideas and discussions on recipes as well so you know how to cook it in different ways or using different ingredients to the ones that might normally be used.

way better than spending money looking for books which you you'll do the best to use one recipe and never look at it again.

Answer 8

You can try Ms Tarla Dalal. She, personally is completely vegetarian. She has published many cookbooks, you may find her on Internet (tarladalal.com) also.

Answer 9

The Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, both by Mollie Katzen.  Great, easy recipes that anyone can make, most of which have an international inspiration.

Answer 10

you'd have to go to a library to find one out, get the reference of the book and order it online for a newer copy - since it is most likely to be tattered.

I dont know if you know where this place is but you could go to Walthamstow library, i've seen loads of the books you looking for. the reason is cos the area is an asian area and some/most asians like vegetarian dishes or are vegetarian themselves.

Answer 11

'Grass & leaves are for animals'. 2nd Edition. Really good book.
