I love aubergines! I'm absolutely a fan of these yummy purple veggies. Oh yeah, in case you're wondering, aubergines are eggplants while courgettes are zucchinis. So yes, the ingredients of this wonderful veggie dish are pretty easy to find. Whip up one of these for friends and you may just convert some of your meat-eating friends into fellow vegetarians.

Just looking at the name of this dish is making me hungry. I just adore all the ingredients in this spicy casserole. This is definitely one you shouldn't forget to include in your recipes for beginner vegetarians book.

Okay, granted that not everyone likes broccoli as much as I do. But still, the cheese and pasta should be yummy enough to make you crave this awesome recipe for new vegetarians. For this dish, I suggest you use penne or macaroni for the pasta. Personally, I'd keep this frozen for a few days only. Frozen cooked veggies don't taste as good when they've been kept for weeks.

Sweet potatoes have been one of my favorite snacks since I was a child. My grandmother used to cook these yummy things for me and my siblings when we were in grade school. Sadly, she passed away when I was still in college. She was a great cook and I miss her cooking very much. This dish reminds me so much of her and her lovely cooking. Personally, I think this version may even be yummier than my grandma's recipe so I wouldn't miss including this in my recipes for beginner vegetarians, if I were you.

I'm not really much of a spinach fan. (Sorry, Popeye!) But I do love parsley and rockets. They're two of my fave salad greens. Plus, this dish has two kinds of cheeses. Who wouldn't love that?! Well, just make sure that you don't serve this to anyone who's lactose-intolerant. If there's anyone in your family who is, you can make your own ricotta cheese substitute by using tofu. You can easily find recipes on the net for that. Parmesan cheese is okay since it is already low in lactose.

Sandwiches are among the easiest things to prepare... and the yummiest, too. You could just put anything you like in the middle of the bread and you have one satisfying meal. So yes, it's pretty easy to put just about any fatty and potentially coronary-inducing stuff in there, too. But with this recipe, you can eat as much as you like and still feel pretty guilt-free. Well, at least way more guilt-free than if you wolf down a Reuben sandwich. So, I can't possibly forget to include this in my recipes for beginner vegetarians. Just make sure not to get the bread charred and you'll be just fine.
