From the Inside Flap

Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook When The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal needs expert advice on the vegetarian lifestyle, whom do they call? The editors of Vegetarian Times magazine. And whether you've only recently begun to eat less meat, or you've been a vegetarian for the last ten or twenty years, Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook may be the last cookbook you'll ever need. Gone are the myths that eating meatless meals means you won't get enough protein and nutrients. As Lucy Moll and the editors of Vegetarian Times explain, a vegetarian diet is the most healthful, low–fat and nutrient–fortified way to eat. And gone are the days when vegetarian food meant mushy, tasteless vegetables and grains. Today's vegetarian can enjoy vibrant ethnic flavors and hearty, satisfying meals, as well as light summertime salads and pasta dishes. There are over 600 recipes to choose from, including Jamaican Jerk Skewered Vegetables, Creole Vegetable and Red Bean Jambalaya, Mexican Lasagna, Peppery Pizza, Spicy African Stew and many more. Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook begins with the basics. The introduction covers topics like different types of vegetarianism (vegan, lacto, ovo–lacto) and how adopting a vegetarian lifestyle can help to save the environment. There's a glossary of vegetarian ingredients packed with information on nutritional benefits and the best ways to cook with such soyfoods as tofu, tempeh and seitan, as well as flavorful grains like quinoa, wild rice, bulgur and couscous. You'll also find meatless menu suggestions, a whole chapter on cooking techniques to help beginners get started and advice on stocking a vegetarian pantry. For especially health–conscious vegetarians, there's a chapter on lowering your fat intake, along with information on how going meatless will reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and other diseases. So if you're one of the millions of vegetarians in America today and are looking for a book with hundreds of delicious recipes, as well as the most comprehensive information on the vegetarian lifestyle from the leading authorities on the subject, Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook is the book for you.
