and then there are my binders of recipes collected off the internet (which sorely need to be re-organized)

What are yours?

Wow! Thats effort... I just thought I would share a recipe. Tofu last night:

Firm tofu (marinated)

MARINADE:
1 cup soy sauce (kikkoman)
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander

Bake half an hour at 180 degrees celcius, turning once. Serve with stir fried veggies with a veggie stock cube for flavoring YUM

Subbing... I want to come back to this...

I'm not veg, but I love vegetables and veg recipes.

My favorite is the Vegetarian Mothers' Cookbook.

Mine don't look pretty on the shelf anymore - I took them to Officeworks and had the spines cut off and replaced with spiral binding. It is FANTASTIC having cookbooks that lay flat when you're using them!

tree hugger that is a great idea. I have a subscription to vegetarian magaazine I wonder it i ripped all the recipes out if they could bind it and put in a spiral notebook type thing.

We're not completely vegetarian/vegan but almost all of my cookbooks are. I'll list them, and try to get a photo later.

Vegetarian Classics by Jeanne Lemlin
366 ways to Pepare Rice, Beans and Grains (this one has suggestions for adding meat marked as notes at the end of some recipes, but the main recipes are vegetarian) by Andrea Chessman
Moosewood Family Cooks at Home (this one calls itself vegetarian, but it does include some fish recipes) by the Moosewood Collective
How to Cook Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman
Vegetarian Express by Nava Atlas

Subbing......things may be changing around here.... I was once a vegan, for no other reason than meat "kinda grossed me out"....to now, I just watched Food Inc........

[expatmom]

Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison is my new favourite cookbook. It has the best salads & salad dressings in it. It uses a lot of 'real' food that I have in my fridge. The recipes are easy to follow, but are also classy eating.

The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen

I like it because it doesn't use any 'subs' - no fake meat, no tofu, no super 'exotic' ingredients. She wanted to present 'real' traditional recipes that happen to be vegan, rather than trying to 'veganize' recipes that had meat/fish/eggs/dairy.

It *does* use LOTS of olive oil.
It doesn't have any pictures (if that's important for you when you cook).
It's somewhat repetitive.
It's 'mostly' Italian focused, but doesn't overdo the pasta.
