This is a question for my fellow vegetarians. Do you have a favorite cookbook or do you know of one that you think is well put together? I'm looking for a good one to purchase so your help would be appreciated. FYI: I'm vegetarian, not vegan, therfore I eat dairy products so the book can contain them.

I'm veg, not vegan, for 10 yrs. :) My all-time favorite veggy cookbook is The Vegetarian Epicure (the original, NOT the one called the "new" epicure). It's by Anna Thomas, circa 1972, and I just LOVE every single one of the hearty, interesting recipes. And there's nothing in there that's "raw coagulated nut milk on sprouts". I think those are the kind of recipes that make hard-core meat-eaters post nasty responses on the Veg question board! Seriously, try the German Apple Pancake, it's divine! And the stroganoff, mmm! Okay, gotta go make dinner!

Check out Deborah Madison cookbooks. She's highly regarded. I gave one as a birthday gift to a vegetarian friend and he loved it! I think the Moosewood cookbooks are also vegetarian. At least some of them.

I love Vegan With a Vengeance and
Vegan cupcakes Take Over the World,
But I also have a I nice collection of cheap ones. I don't know if you have a Borders bookstore, but they usually have them on a clearance table.
I have Indian (with awesome curries), Chinese (yum!), Pastas (great staple), Sauces, and Low Fat.
These are not vegetarian cookbooks, but most any recipe is easy to make vegetarian. Use tofu, tempeh or fake meats.
Have fun
:)

I LOVE "How It All Vegan" and "La Dolce Vegan" (they're part of a series). I'm not totally vegan yet but these books are very helpful. Most of the recipes are quick and easy, which works well for me, so they're not "gourmet" if you're looking for serious cooking books. They also have helpful hints on dairy/egg replacers and recipes for non-edible things from facemasks, pet treats to cleaners.....um I sound like an advertisment, but I just love these books!
One thing that has made veggie cooking for me soo much easier is a food processor. I got one fairly cheap off of Amazon and it is a time-saver!

Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison is a good one. It has 1,400 recipes and is also an excellent general reference book.

"Vegan With a Vengeance" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz is a fabulous cook book with tons of tasty recipes. She also just released a dessert book that I hear is wonderful.
