Also, Pinterest is an awesome place to find vegan recipes. My pinner name is Uma Vida Boa if you want to dig through what I've amassed.

Good on you for being such a cool roommate!

I forgot to mention... YouTube is also a great source for vegan recipes. Hot For Food, Peaceful Cuisine, Edgy Veg, Vegan Zombie... to name a few.

  The last two are particularly gourmet, but interesting reads if you want to attempt some mind-blowing meals. I wouldn't list them as beginner though.

Check out my blogpost on this subject. You need to gradually reduce the amount of refined fats and sugar and gradually increase the amount of vegetables. Reducing the amount of fat in our diet will make you hungry as fat has a huge calorie density. If you are hungry, your sense of taste changes. Your brain gets the signal that it hasn't eaten enough so it will try to eat more, therefore everything will taste better.

If this effect alone isn't strong enough to make vegetables tasty for you, you should consult books such as the Forks over Knives Cookbook to get to tasty meals.
