My cooking skills are very limited, most of which are for non-vegetarian meals. What cookbooks are good beginners guides for vegetarians inexperienced in making vegetarian meals?
This is an older book, but has some good, simple recipes: Quick Vegetarian Pleasures: More than 175 Fast, Delicious, and Healthy Meatless Recipes by Jeanne Lemlin
This is another good one for easy recipes with some good variety also: Student's Vegetarian Cookbook, Revised: Quick, Easy, Cheap, and Tasty Vegetarian Recipes by Carole Raymond
Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian: More Than 650 Meatless Recipes from Around the World is one of my favorites. Amazing variety and well worth the price! Some of the recipes have less common ingredients and a few are complicated, but a great many of them are easy enough for a beginner and are very tasty!
Good luck
