Title: Anyone know of a good vegetarian cookbook?
Post by: Bionic on November 18, 2015, 11:16:40 am: My sister has just told me that she is going vegetarian and wants a cookbook for Christmas.
Any suggestions for a good book with nice pictures?

I was trying to find a link for you but haven't got one yet.
rose elliots books always look good, but several times and even other people have tried to follow the recipes and it tastes rubbish.....
