If you’re looking for more ideas, I highly recommend the writer Lukas Volger’s really, really wonderful veggie burger cookbook Veggie Burgers Every Which Way, which served as inspiration for Melissa [Clark] and includes recipes for many kinds of patties that fall in three main categories: vegetables, beans and tofu.

— Tejal Rao, The New York Times

This is a terrific book! I’ve never been a fan of veggie burgers—neither the word ‘veggie’ nor the dry little disks with their strange little flavors. But Lukas Volger has just the right idea: Make real food with real flavor—and burgers that go far beyond any microwavable snack. There’s a lot to like in Veggie Burgers Every Which Way, including some very appealing sides, dressings, and, what else? Buns! I’m headed to my kitchen right now.

One of Volger’s best veggie burgers combines a variety of mushrooms and barley, combining foresty and nutty flavors you’d find in a wintertime wild mushroom soup . . . Try going back to eating one of those frozen soy burgers after that.
