The Clueless Vegeterian Cookbook - Suggestive Read

I have preached and preached about Meatless Mondays - what was for dinner last night? - and now to help you along with starting that journey a little more easily, I have a suggested read.
I came across this cookbook while browsing around Chapters with Adriana - we love the book store! It's called The Clueless Vegetarian Cookbook. I was fascinated by it so picking it up, I flip to the back cover which reads:

So you're a vegetarian. Or you're thinking about becoming a vegetarian. Or maybe you live with a vegetarian. Or maybe you just have to feed one occasionally.

The Clueless Vegetarian is designed for vegetarians who love good food, cooked from scratch, but also want to have a life. If you've just switched to a vegetarian diet, The Clueless Vegetarian gives you the straightforward nutritional information you need to help you make good food choices (without obsessing). If you're a practicing vegetarian looking for some good old fashioned cooking, then this is your guide. There are lots of hints for concocting vegetarian versions of your favorite old recipes, and suggestions on preparing meals for the mixed household. You'll even find survival tips and cooking advice that's just plain useful for everyone, vegetarian or not.
Incredibly thorough and with lots of humor, The Clueless Vegetarian leads the new-vegetarian through a whole new kitchen experience. Every recipe is coded so that you can easily identify whose a lacto-ovo vegetarian, who's a lacto-vegetarian, who's a vegan, an ovo-vegetarian or an occasional vegetarian, it's all laid out simply and straightforwardly, with no surprises.
 I flipped through some of the pages and it looks really interesting and easy to follow! I went home and did some more research - read reviews basically. The reviews came back awesome! Surprisingly, this more-than-affordable cookbook has no pictures but the recipes are traditional ones you've probably been making at home over the years - sans meat.
