Vegetarian Classics: 300 Essential and Easy Recipes for Every Meal
By Jeanne Lemlin
William Morrow Cookbooks - 2003
Angel Biscuits : page 100
These are different type of biscuit, a cross between a biscuit and a roll really because they have both baking soda and yeast. The cool thing is that you can make them ahead and keep in the fridge for a few days. So you can have warm biscuit/rolls with several dinners over the week.

Quick and tasty vinaigrette

Classic Vegetable Melt : page 137
Surprisingly delicious considering the 'sauce' holding it to the toast is mayonnaise. This is a quick lunch that is very tasty. Can use any tasty mix of veggies and cheese.

Nice basic salad dressing. Quick to put together.

Crunchy Thai Noodle Salad : page 77
I like this one a little more than the other noodle salads in the book. It still needs more vegetables than written though. I usually double the carrots and add crispy sauted or baked tofu cut in little strips.

Giant Corn Muffins : page 101
A good basic corn muffin. Comes together quickly and have a good texture - moist but not gummy. I don't have a giant muffin tin, so I've always just made them regular size.

Mediterranean Stuffed Sandwich (Pan Bagna) : page 140
Our favorite sandwich. You make it ahead and it marinates in the fridge. Is even good the next day. So easy, so delicious!

Easy make ahead breakfast. A savory bread pudding flavored with peppers, pepper jack cheese, and oregano.

Orange Almond Biscotti : page 131
Real "biscotti" biscotti - ie is very hard and dry - not like the cookie kind. Needs to be dipped into a cup of coffee or tea to be edible. But delicious. Can dip the end in white or regular chocolate and roll in nuts for a pretty gift.

Okay. These are thin type pancakes and I'm more of a thick and fluffy person.

Spanish Tortilla : page 121
Tasty. Makes a good appetizer served cold and cut into thin wedges or cubes.

Another nice everyday salad recipe. This one is best in the winter when the Texas red grapefruits come in - they are the best!

Swiss Chard and Potato Frittata : page 119
My basic frittata recipe. I mix in any odd veggies I have on hand instead of/or with the greens. Have used all kinds of cheese as well.

A tasty cold noodle salad for summer. Overall I think the pasta to sauce/veggies ratio is off in this cookbook. I usually add some shredded carrot, zucchini, etc to boost the dish.

Tuscan-Style Couscous Salad : page 81
Very quick, requiring very little cooking. (toasting the nuts and boiling water). Perfect for the summer when you have tomatoes and basil in the garden.

White Bean Spread with Lemon and Mint : page 32
Nice with pita bread or crackers. Like a minty, lemony hummus.
