For anyone who might like to eat more purely vegetarian meals, but whose heart does not soar at the thought of nut rissoles, leaden wholemeal pizza, or a lump of dreary cottage cheese on a bed of tired leaves, I would like to put in a word for the best veggie cookbooks I have found so far.  My son turned vegetarian a few years ago, and since then I've collected a lot of good cookery books to make sure that when he visits, his meals are not just an afterthought.  These stand out: The Café Paradiso Cookbook and Paradiso Seasons, both by Denis Cotter, who has a restaurant in Cork.  

Some of the recipes are a little complicated, some are beautifully simple, but every single one I have tried tastes utterly wonderful, and there are never any complaints from carnivores - no baying for blood.

This is the very first comment I have ever written and providing a link for either of these books would be quite beyond me, I'm afraid.  Baby steps.
