"How to Cook Everything Vegetarian" by Mark Bittman is a good all-purpose cookbook.

Deborah Madison is way too elaborate for regular weeknight cooking. Save it for the weekends or if you have time on your hands.

The recipes boggle my mind- not for the beginner. I suspect whoever recommended it was just a showboating food snob.

I did not make the rec but have the book and there is quite a bit of criticism of it in the foodie world. That said I have made the ratatouille recipe many times and it is good.
