How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food

By Mark Bittman, Alan Witschonke
Wiley - 2007

This cookbook is an excellent reference, and I keep it right next to my copy of Joy of Cooking.

This book's chapters cover basic technical information (e.g. equipment, techniques, ingredients) and the recipes are organized into salads, soups, eggs & cheese, vegetables & fruits, pasta, grains, legumes, tofu etc, breads etc, sauces, and desserts.

What I like the most about this cookbook is that each basic recipe is followed by a list of suggested variations. I think this cookbook empowers the home cook to become comfortable enough to follow their instincts and be able to go into the kitchen and simply cook (without recipes).

I requested this book as a Christmas gift to encourage me to cook with more grains. I've found the recipes to be somewhat variable, but generally dependable and very good.
