A cookbook that every veg-head should have is "The new Farm Vegetarian Cookbook". It covers all the basics and gets into the more complicated stuff, in other words a good all around kitchen guide made by real veg-heads! Amazon carries it...
A good guide to "why veggie" is by Janet Barkas and is titled "The Vegetable Passion". Some of the info is now a little dated but still the best bet for covering the bases about 'why'. It's out of print but is still available by library exchange and Abebooks.com (Hey! Amazon has some available!).

The complete idiot's guide to being a Vegetarian. Not making it up, it was the first book I read when I stopped eating meat!! It's super informative, easy to follow, and funny here and there. The last chapter covers food combining, and that is the only part I didn't get.
You can also hit your local library and see what they have for vegetarian books, usually for free!

Way to be!
Moosewood Cookbooks are awesome, the Vegan Sourcebook is great. Try really simple recipes to get the hang of it. Veg cooking for me is a lot simpler than non-veg! It's just a little adjustment. You'll be a pro in no time :)
If you like ethnic food, there's a lot of Indian food that's vegetarian food, since Hinduism is pretty prominent over there. I have several Indian cookbooks. Just check them out ahead of time and see if there are a bunch of veg recipes.
My tip for cooking tofu: mash extra-firm tofu with a fork and fry in a bit of vegetable oil until golden brown. This'll usually take about 10 mins on a crappy stove like mine. It's a good idea to have a non-stick pan so the tofu doesn't all fall apart if you over-cook it a little and then scrape it off... lol :) Remember to add extra spices, since tofu doesn't have a taste of its own!
Tempeh is an awesome healthy meat alternative. Try frying it with garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and basil (and salt+pepper, of course)
Hope this helps!

I'm wondering if you can even be a beginner vegetarian. I mean, it's not like you can take back all the meat you've eaten in your past. I guess that doesn't count though.....kinda like being a born-again Christian.
Not trying to be smart, just couldn't resist. I'd Google vegetarian books. I sure you'll find more than you want.

"Moosewood" is good for recipes, as is 'The Idiot's Guide to Vegetarianism" It has great info on vitamins an all that good stuff, as well as recipes... When I first started a few years ago, I just went to the "health" section of my local bookstore (where they have diet and exercise books), and found tons of great books...
PETA.com is a great resource, you can send off for their Veggie Starter Pack. Also, they have a link to a site called 'I can't believe it's Vegan!" which has tons of stuff you can find in a normal grocery store that is animal free!

Cookbooks: street to well being, Lindsay Wagner Moosewood, Molly Katsen That made me elect to develop right into a vegetarian: The Peace weight relief plan, Will Tuttle What I did when we first began develop into to bypass to the library and have a glance at a collection of books so i might want to study all i might want to to ensure we've acceptable nutrients and to discover strong recipes. i have stumbled on few cookbooks which have a large number of recipes i love except both i discussed, yet through going to the library, i might want to dig out 2 or 3 from each and every e book and basically placed them on recipe playing cards to attempt. you could also take the beef out of your well-liked recipes and replace it with tofu, cheese, tofu, tempeh, or beans. they actually have crumbles and "sausage" produced from tofu that you'll purchase at well being nutrients shops and use as you may want to floor pork or meat sausage. you could also talk including your clinical specialist to ensure you're growing the acceptable foodstuff.
