Came here to make sure someone mentioned Post Punk Kitchen: http://www.theppk.com/
Make sure to check out her cookbooks, especially Appetite For Reduction for MFP purposes (many of the recipes seem to be in the database, and the book helpfully lists nutritional info). The others are all great as well (Veganomicon and Vegan With A Vengeance are the standouts) but not necessarily so much with the low-calorie compared to "Appetite". Everything we've ever tried from her books has been amazing.0 -
Hi, i have been a vegetarian all my life and let me bust the myth that vegetarians dont get protein in their diet, and the only way to get proteins is tofu and soybean. The other class of foods which provide all essential and non-essential amino-acids for vegetarians are the different kinds of lentils, beans and legumes. When I say different kinds - there must be 10-20 different varieties that you will never see in your nearby supermarket. Go to the nearby indian store to find lentils of different varieties - arhar, moong (yellow or green), yellow split peas, masoor, black gram, urad (black or green), all kinds of kidney beans and the list goes on. You can always make soups for all the following or find recipes on the net. Or go to your nearest Indian friend.0

i'm no longer a vegetarian but i still like to cook a lot of vegetarian/vegan dishes. i was vegetarian for about 5 years.
i like ohsheglows.com! she has a great background story and lots of great recipes. as well as an awesome bengal cat.
for a little treat, i like eatmedelicious.com - not always the healthiest but there are healthy recipes on there.
i have a few vegan books - i recommend vegan brunch and vegan in 30 minutes. i heard appetite for reduction is a great book as well.
and the internet is always a great resource! there are many vegetarian/veganized recipes out there.
feel free to add me even though i'm not vegetarian anymore, i'll still love to help in any way!0 -

...untrue. Tofu and other soy products provide some protein, but certainly not the only protein you can get and definitely not the best.
Seitan is the quintessential vegan/vegetarian protein source. There is nothing else meatless that can compare nutritionally to it, I believe.
You can also try tempeh if you're into that sort of thing. (I am not into that sort of thing.)
Also, if you choose to be vegetarian rather than all out vegan, you can get ample protein from greek yogurt, cheese, eggs, and egg whites.0 -

When I'm looking for a recipe on the whim (or I just want to drool over delicious pictures of food), I go to www.findingvegan.com. It has pictures of various recipes (that are, of course, vegan), and gives link to the site they came from. It'll help you find amazing recipes and gives you peaks into various recipe blogs so that you can find your favorites :happy:0

I've been a vegetarian for 16 years, gluten-free for a year, and currently trying to transition to more (maybe fully) vegan. Feel free to friend me, I have some good recipes and am always looking for new ones!0

Protein is found in most plants. If you eat a variety of vegetables and fruits, you will get plenty of protein without having to think about it.0

^^ Yes. Also, people don't realize that there is protein in broccoli, peas, mushrooms ... it's not animal protein, so it doesn't show up in the same way on your diary, but it's in there.
