No problem, and not at all.

I'm sorry if I gave that impression. There are 180'775 books in Amazon's cookery section, and I'm not going even to guess the number of websites. I didn't expect or want anybody in the forum even to have a look at them. But maybe somebody had come across something that would help me - after all...

Yes, I agree - I'll simply look more widely and then pick what I like. (That's in addition to the valuable tips for concrete books and websites I've got in this thread so far!)

No, it's really for practical purposes. Cooking for a five-year old, cooking dinner for a small family and cooking for the occasional dinner party. Of course, there are lots of vegetarian cookery books and websites, too many to sort through in fact. But I don't understand why the choice of...

I'm sorry I wasn't clear: of course, I wasn't serious about doing the work of half a dozen experienced kitchen staff without any great efforts myself. (And never mind Downton Abbey - multi-course dinners are still eaten.)

(My mother still doesn't quite understand why I won't eat her six-weeks-preparation plum pudding, just because of that bit of suet.) I never much cooked, and "never much" is a bit of an understatement. Now I find myself in a...

Yes, that's exactly the problem I have. I'm not interested in recipes for or by ideologists of vegetarianism or raw food or for the ill and feeble. So, no special cuisine, but the same food you'd typically be served at an English upper-class dinner (or, if fancier, dinner party) and in addition...

(First post, and I'm quite a beginner at cooking…) Does anyone know of a good collection of recipes of food that is or was common among the English upper classes, both of the nursery/public school and the French cook varieties, but all vegetarian? If it substitutes tofu for meat and the like...
