The cookbook that I want at the moment (though I can't seem to part with the money) is "Veganomicon." I don't eat a lot of soy products, and I have plenty of recipes for beans and starches already, but I'm definitely interested in the recipes for actual vegetables.

I like it a lot more than Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone -- the recipes are cheaper and simpler and also taste better. My favorite vegetarian cookbook is Vegetarian Planet by Didi Emmons.

I tend to go for more simple meals too, so I'll have to check out Madison's book when I can. Even the title makes it sound approachable ;) I usually just go online for recipes since there's such a wide selection and they're free. I just started working for a non-profit called Meatless Monday and was really excited when I saw their website's recipe section! Meatless Monday also has lots of nutrition articles and cooking tips, which you can find at www.MeatlessMonday.com Thanks for the book reviews.

It is a fun and approachable way to eating a mostly vegetarian diet. The recipes are really tasty and the book is set up with shopping lists and weekly eating plans. It is a really cool book. You can get it at amazon.com or pretty much any of the big box bookstores. I have also downloaded many great (and free) recipes from the author's website (they are all vegetarian) http://www.dawnjacksonblatner.com I am really glad I found this book and the author's website. Her tips, recipes and nutrition information have helped me to really cut down on eating meat and eating a lot more fresh produce and whole grains.

Unfortunately, you can't really get the gelatinous effect with vegetable stock, but you can reduce it greatly and freeze the concentrate in ice cube trays. Alternately, you might consider making court bouillon, a quick veggie stock. It's usually used to poach fish, but it can also be pulled in for a variety of other recipes. There's a recipe at Epicurious. Thanks for the shout-out.

This allows me to find something to do with a random item from a farmer's market.

The Savory Way is probably our #1 go-to cookbook if we're looking for something yummy and not too strenuous. We’re also big fans of Deborah Madison.
