Lots of great recipes and tips. I've been a vegetarian for years, and learning how to replace animal products with vegetable or soy is great and more healthy. It is liberating to learn I can eat such a wide variety of things.

Go-to cookbook
My boyfriend and I sit down for a meal and it goes something like this:
Bf: Wow! This is really good. Where did you get the recipe?
Me: From the cookbook my coworker gave me in the book exchange. You know the one.
Bf: (mouth full of food) Mmm hmm, yum.
Another winner from The Complete Vegan Cookbook.
This is my go-to cookbook. I make the fast and delicious recipes in this book more than any other recipes. I love the pasta puttanesca with artichokes, the potato and garlic soup, rice noodles with curried veggies, tempeh rancheros, chorizo "sausage", linguine with asparagus, walnuts and fresh herbs. This book has my favorite hummus recipe. When I made the chocolate-cinnamon walnut cake, a non-vegan friend asked for the recipe and made it for her non-vegan husband's birthday that week!
I also appreciate a little bit of history, accompaniment suggestions, leftover storing and alternative ingredients in the side bars.
