I love the Bosh cookery book

I have one that I bought in 1972 when we were veggie for a few years.
Rose Elliot -Not Just a Load of Old Lentils. It's a classic.
I still use some of her recipes.

Sainsburys does a good basic veggie one in its series which has nice recipes

I had one which I think was called 365 Days ofVegetarian Recipes but I gave it to a friend whose husband became vegetarian.

You can still order it online, I think. I didn't make many of the dishes before I gave it away, but there should be plenty of satisfying meal suggestions in the book

This could be it, although obviously much updated over the last 20 or so years!

sorry, the first one is vegan

My favourite is Rose Eliot’s New Complete Vegetarian.
How about looking in your local library and checking some out?

Thank you for your recommendation. I peeped on Amazon and it is an impressive-looking book

Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions. I shall now do some happy investigating. I have heard of Rose Eliot and shall look out for her new book as it sounds very good.

I always have a bag of soya mince in my freezer. You can make a fabulous Bolognese with it. It also goes well as the base for a shepherdless pie.
I'm sorry that I can't recommend any books. I just Google a recipe as I need it.

The part time vegetarian is good, from amazon, or Mildred’s . If you eat quorn go on the quorn website there are lots of good ideas on there.

See what is on the cookery shelves at your local charity shop. They are always awash with cook books.

I filled my adolescent children up with Rose Elliot recipes.
Rose Elliot's Complete Vegetarian Cookbook with over 1000 recipes. I still use lots of her recipes.

Now updated and sold on Amazon " The new complete vegetarian". Still with over a 1000 recipes.

Leith's vegetarian cookery. I am not a veggie but this is my go to book when I want good ideas for meat free meals. I expect a certain online shop would have it second hand.

Being vegetarian is fun.
I love Mexican food and make Quora fajitas a lot with lots of roasted veg and home made guacamole; if cooking for adults I soak the Quora in tequila and lime juice!
There are lots of fab Thai foods to try too. I like a coconut and lime veg curry.
lots of Italian dishes lend themselves well to vegetarianism my favourite is a vegetable lasagna or pasta dressed in garlic olive oil with sautéed courgettes, leeks and mushrooms sprinkled with melted cheese (vegan variety is fine) and lots of black pepper.
Also I recommend Quora (or linda McCartney) sausage casseroles packed with chick peas and carrots and served with sweet potato mash.
I also like making Indian food much of which is vegetarian anyway or try Middle Eastern food like a vegetable tagine.
So many receipes can be easily adapted for vegetarians especially with such a vast range of meat substitutes veggie mince is great in Bolognese or for a cottage pie for example

I have been cooking veggie since my son went vegan about 12 years ago. I don´t use cookbooks anymore, any recipe can be adapted to vegetarian or even vegan. I know all about cooking big meals for big boys. And if you´re only thinking of cooking vegetarian, ie. can use milk, cheese and eggs, there are almost no limits. And you don´t have to use soy or tofu substitutes either, Favourites here are lasagne, use lentils instead of meat; burgers, use grated beetroot instead of meat; large portobello mushrooms with a stuffing; vegetable stew; breaded fried cauliflower; chickpea and spinach curry, etc. Just choose an ingredient and google a vegetarian recipe for it. Good luck. I find it much more rewarding than throwing a bit of animal gristle into a pan. Though, having said that, I do, still cook meat, my husband would be without it.

I would never use Quorn etc - we still have a lot of veggie meals. There's such a big range of pulses available as protein substitutes.

I also highly recommend Jack Monroe's books - while not all her recipes are vegetarian, the vast majority are, and all use everyday ingredients, so they're great for anyone on a budget.

I like Quorn products myself and do recommend them! But others don’t and they aren’t essential to vegetarian cooking, I also use smoked tofu a lot and like cauldron products too

A good minced meat substitute is minced up mushrooms! Just whiz in a chopper or blender the use exactly like mince in a recipe but if frying needs a bit of olive oil and don't fry as long as you would mince!

Thanks again for the wonderful selection of books and for all your advice. My computer had a hissy fit yesterday and sulked until the engineer came round to cheer it up so I wasn't able to write straight back. x
