Reddit reviews Quick Vegetarian Dishes - Recipes You Can Prepare In A Hurry

I like The Vegan Table for American food.

Quick Vegetarian Dishes has a variety of recipes from around the world. Not one uses tofu or fake meat. (One note: The recipes use Australian measurements, which are slightly different than American. It only really matters if you're baking, though, and even then, it is easy to adjust for.)

For Indian food, Lord Krishna's Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking seems to have hundreds of great recipes in it, but not a single one with fake meats or tofu.

I have all three of these, and have really enjoyed the recipes. Happy cooking!

Kurma is my guy

I just use garlic in place of anytime he calls for asafetida.

I would check out some cookbooks written by/for Hare Krishnas for ideas. For religious reasons they eat a vegetarian diet free of onion, garlic and eggs and they've come up with some amazing ways to get around the flavor problem. A lot of the food draws heavily on indian spices, including asofetida. Kurma is one of the better known Hare Krishna cookbook writers. My mother is a Hare Krishna and this and this were our family's go-to cookbooks growing up.
