Question by HI: What are some good vegetarian cookbooks with healthy, gourmet recipes?
I’m looking for a cookbook that has some really good gourmet vegetarian recipes for appetizers, main dishes and sides. I really love Southwest/Mexican food like burritos and empanadas, but I also like Italian and Asian.
Can anyone recommend some really good cookbooks with great-tasting, healthy, gourmet, vegetarian recipes?
Thanks.
