Looking for vegetarian cookbooks....

Indian recipes are a preference (my dad went through a vegetarian Buddhist phase, so I'm used to curries, etc.).

Suggestions are welcome.

1. Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking by Julie Sahni

My favorite veg Indian cookbook.

If you like South Indian food - Dakshin: Vegetarian Cuisine from South India by Chandra Padmanabhan is great, and beautiful too.

and Madhur Jaffrey's World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking has lot's of Indian and other Asian recipes - I've been using this one a lot lately.

2. My favorite veg cookbook is called

The Greatest Ever Vegetarian Cookbook, by Nicola Graimes. I found it on a clearance rack at Borders, I have no idea where to find it now, but if you see it, it's awesome.

3. Vegetarian Epicure and Moosewood

Vegetarian Epicure has at least two volumes; Moosewood has maybe four. Neither specializes in Indian recipes, but both have a range that includes curries and I think Moosewood has one that's international in theme.

My Dad served in India during WWII (as a bread baker!) and he introduced us to curries, too. (Lentils and chickpeas especially -- NY Times cookbook has a simple "Indian chickpea" recipe and also one for curried eggs if you eat them.)

5. I like the Vegetarian Table series

they have one on India. Each book is devoted to a different country or cuisine type. :-)
