Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook (English)

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. minimize
