First I want to thank everyone for their awesome cookbook suggestions. After I wrote yesterdays post and made a call out to twitter I got some great suggestions for vegetarian cookbooks.
Here are some of the books recommended:
- Supernatural Cooking
- Any of the Moosewood Cookbooks
- Vegan on the Cheap
- Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
- Rebar Cookbook
- Garden of Vegan
After hitting up two chapters stores, one 25% off coupon later and browsing tons of cookbooks I left with…
Thanks so much to Robyn for this suggestion. I will admit that this book was expensive (about $50) but with the 25% off coupon and my irewards card of another 10% off I decided to splurge and get it. What I love about this book is that it doesn’t just list recipes but each section (eg. beans, vegetables, soups, casseroles, stir fries) goes into an explanation about the section.
For example: Winter Squash and Pumpkin – This has sections on
- Types of Squash
- What to Look For
- How to Store
- How to Use
- Special Handling
- Quality
Then it is followed by recipes using Squash and Pumpkins. In total the book is over 700 pages in length and has hundreds and hundreds of recipes. I will definitely have lots of yummy recipes to keep me busy for a while.
Thanks again to everyone for their lovely suggestions. I can’t wait to pick up a Moosewood Cookbook as well. I was debating between both but ended up with my choice because of the extra 25% coupon. It could only be used on a purchase of $35 dollars or more so I decided to take advantage and pick up the more expensive book.
Tonight we are celebrating Matt’s birthday so I’m making a simple pasta recipe (which is what he asked for) but I’m sure I’ll have some exciting new dishes to share with you soon.
