just looking for new recipes and ideas for vegetarian meals, if anyone has any favorites I'd love to hear them

my favourite is vegetarian nachos:
sautee chopped onion with garlic, then add tinned tomatoes, drained kidney beans, 1-2 tsp each of cumin and curry powder and whatever veges you like, I like celery and capsicum. Cook until it thickens about 20-30mins (it looks better near the end of cooking). Then serve with grated cheese and nacho chips.

I'm also looking for new vege meals, do u have any favourites you would like to share?

I got the BookThe Vegetarian Adventure Cook Bookby Rowan Bishop and Sue Carruthers out of the library recently. It is a NZ written book and it uses everyday ingredients but really good. I loved it so much I bought it - $35 inc postage. Recipes are set out in Menu form which was helpful. Has a fab recipe for brownie and the ice cream recipe is to die for. First recipe in the book was Fat Freddies Pumpkin and my husband Fred really liked it. (picky meat eater)
