they are great - but nothing in it is easy to pull together mid week meals.

We cook mostly vegetarian at home and I was vegetarian for 20 years. My favorite cookbooks are the Joy of Cooking, the Bittman book mentioned earlier and the Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone book. I also have a hefty Indian cookbook which is great for lentils and eggplant.

Good luck OP!

I like Heidi Swanson's cookbooks - she writes at 101cookbooks.com. I have another - I think it's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.

+1

I also like Joe Yonan (from The Washington Post)'s "Eat Your Vegetables."

This cookbook is great--if you have the time!

I personally find Moosewood to be very bland. I have to double the spices and up the salt with most recipes.

Second this. It's my favorite cookbook, period, and I'm not a vegetarian.

Do you have the Moosewood Cooks at Home? Not sure if that's the original or a later one, but I love it. I also get a lot of recipes from Vegetarian Times magazine.

I am trying to cook more vegetarian entrees. I am looking for a good cookbook that has lots of vegetarian recipes. I can easily cook vegetarian if I rely on rice, potatoes, pasta and cheese. I am looking for more creative ways to use beans, lentils, eggplant, and squashes. I don't mind some or the starchy carbs and cheese but I would prefer to concentrate on the beans, lentils etc.

I have the original Moosewood Cookbook, which is great but the recipes are very long and involved for a weeknight dinner.

Thanks.
