I really like this lady, Robin Robertson.

You will want to try her books like QuickFix Vegetarian, Fresh Vegetarian Slow Cooker and One Dish Vegetarian. They have great recipes with mostly stuff you get at the regular market and they are OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious. I made a tomato soup and split pea, my husband said it was the best he ever tasted! One recipe called for Israeli couscous so I just used regular couscous. It was great...so subbing is okay.
You will love her recipes. She has a few "try" recipes on her site as well.

Good luck.
