There is a bounty of cookbooks to read on lazy afternoons, even if you don't feel like cooking from them. The demand has increased so much for more mainstream vegetarian recipes that many nonvegetarian cookbooks feature vegetarian sections. Here are some of my newly released favorites.

_"The Vegetarian Five Ingredient Gourmet," Nava Atlas. Broadway Books. 2004. $15.95.

This offers really simple, nourishing recipes, along with nutritional information. From chapters such as "Essential Soy" to "The Zen of Grains and Beans," there are many creative vegetarian and vegan recipes from Atlas, the author of eight vegetarian cookbooks. The "Streamlined Salads" section has a wonderful recipe for Israeli Salad, one of my favorites. There is also a great recipe for Avocado and Ricotta Soft Tacos.

_"The Artful Vegan, Fresh Flavors From The Millennium Restaurant," Eric Tucker. 10 Speed Press. 2003. $24.95.

This is a really creative paperback with beautiful photos from one of San Francisco's most innovative vegan restaurants. It features 140 recipes with global influences. It's more a coffee-table production than a practical cookbook, but if you are a serious vegetarian cook you will attempt some of the recipes. Most dishes are complicated but entertaining to read about. Consider this: Chanterelle and Stinging Nettle Ravioli with Sorrel Puree, Saffron Aioli and Candy Cap Mushroom-Balsamic Reduction. Whew.

_"The Native Foods Restaurant Cookbook," Tanya Petrovna. Shambhala. 2003. $16.95.
