There's
no mystery to creating deliciously satisfying vegetarian
meals. Tasty alternatives to the animal ingredients
that you may be cooking with are easier to find than
ever—many are as close as your corner supermarket.
If you're just getting started, you may want to try
simply "vegging up" your favorite recipes.
Try tofu or seitan instead of chicken, ground vegetable
burger crumbles instead of hamburger, marinated portobello
mushrooms instead of steak, and soy milk instead of
cow's milk or cream. By investing in some good vegetarian
cookbooks , you can broaden your horizons to a whole
new way of cooking. Kiwi's tend to center their meals
around animal products out of habit or custom, but cuisines
from other parts of the world focus more on grain, vegetables,
and fruit. Think about it, there are far more types
of vegetables than there are types of meat, so why limit
yourself? Whether you've gone vegetarian "cold
turkey" or just want to add more healthy, plant-based
meals to your family's diet, we have the secret—and
not-so-secret—tips you need to take the guesswork
out of vegetarian cooking. |
