the moosewood restaurant in ithaca, ny puts out some of the best, most comprehensive vegetarian cookbooks in publication. they were also one of the original veg cookbooks to hit the mainstream. i was raised on them- and we didn't live in a vegetarian household- simply a health-conscious one...my father had a double bypass heart surgery when i was small so our family did what you are trying to do- eat well but in a healthier way. they have EXCELLENT ethnic recipes. i own 'sundays at moosewood,' which is all ethnic, with good explanations of ingredients, cultural histories of food, etc. i sincerely recommend the moosewood- either invest in a book or explore their website. as proof- every time i go to the restaurant, i am blown away by their level of quality- really excellent, upscale health food. even my steak and potatoes grandmother always finds something she raves about. best of luck in this endeavor.
