That should help you out and if your stuck come back and ask questions. Good luck and remember even beans on toast is great when you don't have to make it yourself xx:beer: Officially Debt Free Nov 2012 :beer:0 -
Borrow "Cheap and Easy" by Rose Elliot from the library - it's a great book full of simple vegetarian recipes, and also tells you how to cut down recipes for four to two or one if you want to.
If you get on with her style then you might want to invest in your own copy!

I agree with Seakay but this edition is cheaper:

I think that wanting to pull your weight is far from being a "rubbish husband"
I would recommend a look at Cas Clarke's recipe books - try your local library for a copy before splashing out (even though they are usually only a couple of quid on Amazon etc). And I second Quillion's beans on toast commentLove and compassion to all x0 -
I learnt to cook veggie from the original Cranks book (not the 'Entertaining with...' book.)0

Hi
first of all congratulations, you don't sound rubbish at all, the rubbish ones are the ones who refuse to help, not someone who just does not have experience, and you sound so willing! Well done!
Anyway, the cheapest way to get vegetarian and vegan recipes is to approach the Vegetarian Society http://www.vegsoc.org/
The Vegan society http://www.vegansociety.com/home.php
Viva http://www.viva.org.uk/
They all have amazingly varied info online but also can send you out hard copy booklets with simple and easy recipes.
Best of luck!

bravo you! i agree that asking for help and wanting to help her out is FAR from useless. she's lucky.
i've some good veggie cookbooks, but when i want simple inspiration, i always go back to the Really Easy Student Cook Book. whilst you're at the library, see if they have any student cookbooks. i still use mine from 10yrs ago - they are good because they focus things you probably have in already and on easy to prepare things, with a large selection of vegetarian meals, so may be a good place to start out with cooking...
good luck!Relax, Breathe, Love 2014 Challenges:Cross Stitch Cafe Challenger 23. Frugal Living Challenger. No buying cleaning products. I used MSE advice to reduce my car insurance from 550 to 325!! & paid it off in full!!!0
