Foreign Cookbooks

My husband is a vegetarian who hates vegetables. Are there any good cookbooks or recipes? ?

He will eat tofu and eggplant and such. Just not straight veggies. I'm dying for some variety besides pizza and ravioli. I can't seem to find recipes for "normal" foods. Most just seem gourmet and foreign. Help!

I find veggie much better chopped up instead of in their natural whole form. I have a chopper and I chop up my veggies and then steam and season them. Add pizza sauce, cheese, butter, soy sauce, or what ever he likes to the mix while they are still steaming. Healthy and Delicious at the same time. And you could possible take said chopped veggies and put them in a sub roll like I did for dinner tonight. I defrosted some broccoli and them chopped it up with my chopper. Then I put them in a large/medium size pan with a little bit of water (You can eye ball it easily depending on how much you are cooking). After the veggies get some momentum add his favorite seasonings. I added sea salt, pepper, various Italian seasonings, and hot pepper flakes. Then I started to add pizza sauce I had in the fridge. Stir it often and it shouldn't stick. Then take it and transfer it to bread. Sandwich rolls, sub rolls, or even dinner rolls are perfect. Hope that helps.
