Vegetarian Cookbook recommendations?

My boyfriend has a really limited repertoire of veggie recipes, I want to buy him a cookbook but there's tonnes out there, some look awful others ok. What do you recommend?

This one has a wide range of vegan dishes. Don't be put off if you aren't vegan. This is seriously good stuff.

I absolutely love Yotam Ottolenghi's "Plenty"! Gorgeous all-vegetarian recipes.

Get him a subscription to Vegetarian Times magazine, that way he will get new recipes each month. I love my VT subscription, they give lots of good advice and tips too

I highly recommend "Sundays at Moosewood"

Amazon: http://amzn.to/wxVaWM

Moosewood is a famous vegetarian restaurant in upstate NY. Sundays are their "international" day, and this book is a collection of their favorite recipes from around the world.

Some of my favorites:
Blackbean tosadas (black beans with orange juice, cumin and coriander). I generally don't make the tostadas, but serve these as burritos. If you use canned beans, this is a great weeknight dinner.

Stuffed Vegetables with Spinach and Artichoke Hearts. Even non-vegetarians like this one

Mocha pecan pie: My go-to dessert for potlucks. If you use a pre-made pie crust, everything goes into the blender and you're baking in less than 10 minutes

Some of the recipes in "Sundays" can be a little daunting if you're new to cooking (primarily because of the range of the cuisines). If you're new to cooking, I recommend the original Moosewood cookbook:

Highlights from that one include the lasagna recipe, the marinara recipe (with red wine...yum!) and the gnocchi

Enjoy!

Thank you all! Vegetarian times may just be an option. I looked at student cookbooks too as I figured they may be easy for him to follow! haha
