I have several ‘oldish’ ones that I return to time and again; and I have so many cookbooks that I don’t really buy new ones anymore. Many of my veggie-oriented ones are from my stint as a semi-vegetarian in younger days:
Smith and Hawken, The Gardeners Community Cookbook:
Some of the best are recipes from vegetarian restaurants. Here are two drawn from the famous San Francisco restaurant, The Greens:
The Greens Cookbook:
Fields of Greens:
Also, any of Mollie Katzen’s books are very good.
