My favourite *go to* is Alison Holst "Meals without Meat". Has anyone tried out her and her son Simons "Very Easy Vegetarian" cook book, is it any good? .

Yes I have Very Easy Vegetarian book and I really like it. Some of the recipes I need to adapt to vegan versions for me but the recipes are very good.

Deborah Madison has written several excellent books of vegetarian food. I still refer to one of her earliest books "The Savory Way" often, and her most recent book "Vegetable Literacy" is a masterpiece.

The only fully vegetarian cookbook I ever owned was "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest" by Mollie Katzen.
It has some interesting recipes, and also some plain weird ones. Might be because American cooking is quite different from what NZlanders eat.
Her newest book "The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2013), was touted by The New York Times, Amazon, and Apple as a best book of the year.

I have to agree that Deborah Madison is one of the best vegetarian cooks. Her latest version of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone which has more vegan recipes than the earlier version of this book is excellent. The Savory Way has really good recipes but many are quite heavy on dairy but nevertheless her recipes are always excellent. You could check out reviews of her books on Amazon.

I love The Vegetarian Adventure Cook Book by Rowan Bishop & Sue Carruthers. I have used it for years. Tonight I am making the cannelloni it is lush!
