What constitutes a vegetarian cookbook?

I believe a vegetarian cookbook is one that is designed for a vegetarian lifestyle, generally including some good tips and ensuring that the meals include the essentials, like the lovely B12, Iron, etc.
My mother argues that it just needs to not have meat...basic true, but the one she likes uses beef stock half the time...not very vegetarian if you ask me.
So for the time being mum is using her Australian Women's Weekly Vegetarian Cookbook, some of the dishes have been great including a Black eyed Pea casserole that was more like a stew than a casserole but still really really good; some not so great like the weird Cabbage stir fry which was exactly that, stirfried cabbage with sweet potato...very weird combination.
I cannot wait till this semester, exams included are over so I can go back to scouring the library for amazing cookbooks and of course cooking...maybe I'll get some really good recipies and put the up here...I am getting very good at homemade mac and cheese, however don't put chickpeas in it...trust me on that one.
