Vegetarian cookbooks?

Question

I'm looking for some good vegetarian cookbooks. I like mostly simple things, not recipes that are trying too hard and use 20 different ingredients to make spicy, zesty, flashy dishes. I prefer simple flavor made with items I can get at my normal grocery store.

If anyone has ideas I'd appreciate the title and author.

Thanks very much.

Answer 1

Any of the Moosewood cookbooks.  I have The Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home, which has pretty simple weekday dishes.  They also have one called Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers, but I haven't read that one.

Moosewood Restaurant has been cooking and serving vegetarian food for about 30 years now, and their cookbooks are a joy to read and the recipes are delicious.

Another old, good standby is Mollie Katzen's (she's a Moosewood alum) The Enchanted Broccoli Forrest...good recipes and fun to read.

And if you can find a copy (Amazon Marketplace have them used, I think it's out of print), I love The World Famous Ratner's Meatless Cookbook from Ratner's Deli in NY.
