JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

What’s cooking?

I think cookbooks make a fabulous gift for vegetarians—especially if they’re fond of cooking, of course. (And if they don’t cook often, maybe a great cookbook could inspire them to get into the kitchen, saving themselves money and calories.)

Delicious Living‘s blog recently picked the best new vegetarian cookbooks of 2009. I wasn’t familiar with any of their picks, but as you know if you read this blog regularly, I’m a sucker for cookbooks. So I’m especially eager to get my hands on Vegetarian Dishes from Across the Middle East, since Middle-Eastern cuisine is one of my favorites. I love so many of the ingredients used in it—eggplants, pomegranates, figs, dates—and having a cookbook of strictly vegetarian dishes is wonderful.

Anybody have any particular favorite vegetarian cookbooks—new or old—to recommend?
