It’s almost that time of year and I’m being asked what I want for Christmas and perhaps other members are too. So, do you have any recommendations for a vegetarian (or vegan) cookbook?

I have most of the classics (Rose Elliot, Cranks, River Cottage, etc.), but don’t have any low carb books. I don’t do keto or weight loss, but others may be interested if you have any good suggestions.

If you’re just starting out as a vegetarian, look out for a used copy of Rose Elliot’s “New vegetarian cookbook” - I know most of the recipes off by heart, I’ve made them that often (simple, wholesome food). Perhaps I should just ask for her low carb vegetarian book?

It almost goes without saying, but I must: don’t mention any celebrity chef books with 6 veg recipes and 94 meat/fish ones :)

Hi @Contralto

Thanks for your suggestions: in particular, I’ve not heard of William Shurtleff before.

Thanks again @Contralto although I’m not planning on beginning a cottage industry anytime soon! Feeding a growing family when they all come to visit does feel like it :)

Again, the Moosewood books are new to me, so thank you.

Of anyone’s interested, the Vegetarian Society have been asking members to vote for their favourite cook books; the winners being:

1. River Cottage Veg Everyday

2. Prashad

3. 15 Minute Vegan

Care of https://www.vegsoc.org/

I can recommend the first one!

Sorry to be so late in adding to this one, but I have just bought River Cottage Much More Veg - really good for vegans/vegetarians and is inclusive for those who eat meat with the dishes, a really good all round book.
:)
