I think the original question "a good vegetarian cookbook that a meat-eater
might like" is a mistake. Liking or not liking meat does not come into the
picture as far as I am concerned. I am a devoted carnivore but make
vegetarian dinners 2-3 times a week. This is real vegetarian, so no fish,
shellfish, etc. A vegetarian dish is successful not because it appeals to my
liking for meat but simply because it is a good dish in its own right. My 2
favorite veg cookbooks are The Vegetarian Epicure (both volumes) and the
Moosewood Cookbook.
