Can you identify what you like about the Pinch of Nom recipes and recreate them without meat? I very rarely follow an actual recipe but adapt based on what I have. I do a lot of batch cooking: bean stews (whatever canned beans I have, tomatoes, onions, garlic, veg such as courgette, squash, pepper, maybe shredded cabbage added at the end, oregano and paprika), dhal, soups.

Steve NordRunner Feb 2022 11:36am, 22 Feb 2022 1,340 posts	0 Steve NordRunner Thanks, LMH! It seems to be good about examining the science to some issues, rather than trotting out the same inaccurate presumptions.
Little Miss Happy Feb 2022 1:48pm, 22 Feb 2022 5,635 posts	0 Little Miss Happy I like Anita Bean and have several of her books Steve. They seem well researched and factual rather than faddy. Don't know if you've found this yet? anitabean.co.uk
Red Squirrel Feb 2022 1:58pm, 22 Feb 2022 22,227 posts	0 Red Squirrel I like Madhur Jaffrey's older books - Flavours of India for example and Anjum Anand has quite a few good books - I've got the first 3. Not all vege, but lots of great vege recipies. I've got the first 2 Moro books too - again not all vege recipes but lots of them are. I've made 3 of their vegetarian soups this week + a Jamie Oliver ribollita. I rate his vege recipes also.
Hanneke Feb 2022 4:22pm, 22 Feb 2022 86,095 posts	0 Hanneke I errrrrr don't use cook books but my gran, an excellent cook, taught me Northern European. My late and ex MIL Southern Italian and my Indian adopted mother, well, she adopted me, Southern Indian. All vegetarian. Been one for health reasons since I was 19...

Little Miss Happy Feb 2022 5:52pm, 22 Feb 2022 5,638 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Is that one of the cookbooks you don't use Hanneke?
Steve NordRunner Feb 2022 7:23pm, 22 Feb 2022 1,341 posts	0 Steve NordRunner Thanks, LMH. I've known about her for a long time but I don't find any of her books on the shelf. Must correct that!
Hanneke Feb 2022 7:29pm, 22 Feb 2022 86,101 posts	0 Hanneke Indeed LMH: never used it... Oops! I was given it by a client but frankly, I tend to head into the garden, puck and forage stuff making it up as I go along. Actually: a cook book that DOES get used, as it works by ingredient, so super useful for those endless courgettes and PSB coming out of the garden: Leith's Vegetarian Bible
