Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

By Deborah Madison
Broadway - 2007

This is a fantastic cookbook. I haven't had anything turn out badly and I've been using it for many years. It has recipes and suggestions for cooking very simple, basic dishes as well as more complex and interesting recipes. The only thing that I don't like about this book is that there are a handful of recipes that call for less common ingredients that I probably won't use too much. Also, she's apparently a big fan of parsley (I hate the stuff so I always leave it out).

I strongly recommend this book if you join a CSA and find yourself with a pile of vegetables that you've never worked with before. Have a heap of endives? There's a recipe in here somewhere for you.
