How to Cook Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman

This is a great cookbook.  My kids love everything I’ve made out of it so far and I do too.  The recipes are straightforward and every one of them has turned out good.  My favorites right now are the hummus and pita recipes.  The pita take a little bit of rising time but they are so good and have ruined store-bought pita for me forever.  Each recipe is marked if its a make-ahead or a quick one and I have to say that everyone marked “quick” actually is.  I’ve referenced this book before on the site but it deserves its own post!

We are not vegetarian, but we’re trying only to eat meat that we know where it comes from.   This cookbook has moved us far ahead in making quick, yummy vegetarian dinners that no one would complain are “missing” the meat.
