Other than a couple of `Love Animals, Don't Eat Them' bumper stickers and T-shirts, I don't proselytize although I'm happy to explain and discuss whenever anyone asks why I'm a vegetarian. If done gently, the other person (non-vegetarian) is usually the one feeling apologetic. Now for cookbooks - I have all of the following but that doesn't mean I've tried them all. It is comforting to have 'em around so I can try things as and when the spirit moves me! (I'm omitting some that have already been mentioned.) `The Electric Vegetarian - natural cooking the food processor way' by Paula Szilard and Juliana Woo. An excellent book, esp. for the beginner. Very systematic and delicious recipes. `Cooking From An Italian Garden - over 300 classic meatless recipes, from antipasti to dessert' by Paola Scaravelli and Jon Cohen. `Italian Vegetarian Cooking' by Jo Marcangelo. `American Wholefoods Cuisine' by Nikki and David Goldberg. Over 1300 meatless, wholesome recipes from short order to gourmet. `Greene on Greens' by Bert Greene. Does have some non-veg recipes in it. (So do some of the others listed, unless they say `vegetarian' in the title.) `From the Farmer's Market' by Richard Sax and Sandra Gluck. Has some non-veg. `Fast Vegetarian Feasts - delicious healthful meals in under 45 minutes' by Martha Rose Shulman. `The Tassajara Recipe Book - favorites of the guest season' by Edward Brown. `The Spice Box - Indian Vegetarian Cooking' by Manju Shivraj Singh. `Indian Vegetarian Cooking' by Jack Santa Maria. `World of the East - Vegetarian Cooking' by Madhur Jaffrey. `The Vegetarian Epicure' by Anna Thomas. `Chinese Vegetarian Cookbook' by Florence Lin. `Vegetarian Times Cookbook' by the Editors of Vegetarian Times. `The Vegetarian Barbeque - a guide to gourmet eating outdoors' by David Eno. `Greek Vegetarian Cooking' by Alkmini Chaitow. `Jewish Vegetarian Cooking' by Rose Friedman. `Mexican Vegetarian Cooking' by Edith Metcalfe de Plata. `The McDougall Health-Supporting Cookbook - vol. 1' by Mary McDougall. `The Four Seasons Wholefood Cookbook'' by Susan Thorpe. `The Cookbook for People Who Love Animals' by ??.
