Hey! First of all, I will not be turning vegan any time soon and I probably never will. Also, I am a beginner at cooking, I can stir-fry, marinate, and boil (ha), etc. simple stuff only you know? Well, when I come home, my house is usually empty and there’s no food save for some leftovers, so I usually drop by a fast food place on the way.
Then I watched Super Size Me again and though I’ve seen it before, its message really reached out to me. I’m not overweight or anything – but I do want to eat healthy and I want to kind of learn how to cook as well (especially since I’m going off to college soon).
So I figure, hey why not learn vegetarian recipes? And I’d like some sort of protein in them (beans, soy, etc.) because they will be my lunch. So can you suggest a site or cookbook for simple beginner vegetarian recipes? And hey if you’ve got a good simple recipe, it’d be nice if you could share it!
@billiesblues82: Can I find said book in Borders? I don’t like the shipping fees.
@billiesblues82: There’s two versions it seems, which would you recommend?

Well, if it’s any help, I’m a bit more interested in savory dishes than salads (though I’ll probably try a hand at salads, too)

The very best book I have found is Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. It’s an awesome guide for beginner’s and has a wealth of recipes. Find it on Amazon and you won’t be disappointed.
ok so these are my fav sites, ok some are vegans but that’s ok you can always make your own version, the first one it’s also a magazine which i recommend i really like it it has recipes, tips and interesting information.
