Recommend your veggie cookbook

Would love suggestions for a cookbook or website uwith relatively simple and healthy recipes for cooking veggies. My kids do pretty well eating steamed and raw veggies, but I 'd like to have some alternatives to prevent boredom. Tia.

Try a veg Indian cookbook. Pick a few recipes and practice them so they'll stick in your memory.

I love "Love Soup" by Anna Thomas. All vegetarian soups. My son loves hem. The "Green Soup" (kale and chard) has changed our life - so healthy but also really delicious. I'm a cookbook junkie (and not a vegetarian) and this is my new favorite.

VegWeb.com is a good place to start, as are the recipe archives at Vegetarian Times.

My favorite cookbooks are from Donna Klein (Mediterranean Vegan, Supermarket Vegan, Tropical Vegan, etc.) and Isa Chandra Moskowicz (Veganomicon, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, Vegan with a Vengeance, etc.).

There's also a Yahoo group for Vegetarian Parents that's run by the Vegetarian Resource Group and is quite good.

Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman (NYT food writer). Great, great.

I second VegWeb, great recipes with pictures and tips for each recipe. My husband and I recently got a "finishing sauce" by Spectrum. MOM's Organic Market had a demo with it, really great flavor! We usually have it with some sauted bok choy, carrots, and onion, but you can use any veggie.

Try to find a copy of Victory Garden Cookbook. It is out of print now but it is our veggie bible. 100s of recipes and veggies from A to Z. Even good for some Of the less popular veggies. Has directions on storing, cleaning and all sorts of prep.

No--the orignal Moosewood is terribly bland. Blech!

Try the vegetarian cookbook by Jack Bishop--he's from America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated--and his cookbook is all about family-friendly recipes with seasonal produce.
