Hi all -- I'm getting alot of good ideas from this thread, and have one to share... For fun and delicious vegan recipes, many geared to celebrations/special occasions, I highly recommend THE VOLUPTUOUS VEGAN by Myra Kornfeld. I bought it solely on the title, since it's so great; I was looking for a change from the often-ascetic approach of other veg/vegan cookbooks. I have alot of cookbooks, of many types/themes, vegan/nonvegan, and it's truly one of the all-around best -- recipes that work, great ideas, easy to follow and yummy food. From it I recommend the Ginger-baked Tofu, quinoa-millet pilaf, Colombian Black Bean Soup and Gingerbread with blood-orange sauce. As a new member of eG I'm not yet sure of how extensive people get about posting recipes, but I'd be happy to share a few here or in the appropriate thread. shining life
