Vegetarian cooking

[breakinglight11]

I need to acquire more vegetarian dishes to my cooking repetoire. I confess I'm the kind of carnivore that usually feel satisfied with a dinner unless there's some kind of meat in it, so usually when I cook the main course is some kind of flesh. But I've been wanting to have vegetarian friends like Matt and Ernest over for a dinner where they weren't limited to side dishes, so that means expanding into atypical territory. I know a broccoli and a vegetable soup, and eggplant parmesan, but that's about it. I know Jared was recently at a vegan dinner that had some recipes he admired, so I could try to learn those. Perhaps this break I'll look into it. It will at least make it easier to make kosher dinners.

I recommend the moosewood cookbook. I have a copy you can check out if you like. You can do great things with ingredients like beans and oatmeal such that you never miss the meat.

But I can't stand tofu. As someone who is also in the dominantly carnivore camp, I abhor it and cannot recommend it.
