| Looking to make more vegetarian meals for my family (which includes two small children). Anyone have a favorite cookbook? I am looking for simple every day recipes. |

I like Deborah Madison's books. Her 'Vegetarian cooking for everyone' covers range of simple to fancy dishes.
Jack Bishop also has a couple of excellent vegetarian books. |

| One of my favorites it Ottolenghi's "Plenty." The recipes are a bit more involved but are always delicious. |

Agree with Madison-her recipes are delicious!
Search for ideas, this request has come up before. Enjoy! |

| 'Plenty' is a lovely book, as are all the others by Ottolenghi. However they are not the best options for quick weekday meals as the OP asked. Amazing cookbooks though. |

| World Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey-it is my go to veg cookbook, very flavorful. |

| Two of my favorites for week night dinners are Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers and Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home. The first one has better pictures (which always help inspire me). |

| Deborah Madison "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone." Agree with 20:38 that Ottolenghi's "Plenty" is wonderful but does not have many quick or easy recipes for a weeknight. |

Love simple suppers as well. Not a big fan of other moose wood cookbooks. Recommend checking some of these recommendations out from the library before purchasing. |

| Just posted above and wanted to add that I also have Plenty. I love to cook and regularly use unusual ingredients but I have never once made a recipe from this book. It was a gift. The recipes boggle my mind- not for the beginner. I suspect whoever recommended it was just a showboating food snob. |

I'm not a real cook or anything, but despite my lack of skills I've made recipes from this book. There are a couple that are my favorites, like the one with chard (or kale), chickpeas, and greek yogurt. But I agree that these recipes are not for the beginner and they do require a certain time commitment. But you can always do a few shortcuts, and once you've made something a couple of times then it goes faster. I have "Quick Vegetarian Pleasures" which has some good recipes. (Some are bland/blah but some are great. The couscous/cheese/spinach one is always a favorite whenever I make it for home or a potluck.) http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Vegetarian-Pleasures-Delicious-Meatless/dp/0060969113 |
