The New Becoming Vegetarian: The Essential Guide To A Healthy Vegetarian Diet
Comprehensive and well-researched, this new edition provides everything you need to know about making a healthy transition to a vegetarian diet or maximizing its benefits if already a vegetarian. Updated with the latest recommendations for intakes of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats, the authors show how to achieve optimal nutrition for all stages of life. Easy-to-read tables, figures, menus, and food guides help you determine how to meet your nutritional requirements. You'll also learn what plant-based dietary components and factors play active roles in both the prevention and treatment of chronic illnesses.
What these compilers--magazine
writers--excel at is explaining, once and for all, the facts
about shunning meat. Included in their discussions are different
types of vegans, rebuttals of the "improper nutrition"
myth, health issues from cancer to osteoporosis, alternative
medicine, and environmentally friendly lifestyles. Plain and
simple language infused with appropriate humor is augmented by
14 menus with 35 recipes and shopping lists, by end-of-chapter
reading lists, and by sidebars filled with information and suggestions
about tofu, holiday dinners, etc.
Since its original publication in 1977, this influential and enormously popular cookbook has been at the forefront of the revolution in American eating habits. MOOSEWOOD was listed by the New York Times as one of the top ten best-selling cookbooks of all time, and no wonder. With her sophisticated, easy-to-prepare vegetarian recipes, charming pen-and-ink drawings, hand lettering, and conversational tone, Mollie introduced millions to a more healthful, natural way of cooking. This edition preserves the major revisions and additions that Mollie made in 1992, adding 5 new recipes from Mollie's current repertoire and 16 pages of beautiful color food photography.
Ignoring all the simplicity stuff, however, leaves the cook
with a cookbook filled with recipes pulling on the flavors of
all corners of the world. Fill your pantry according to the master
plan, shop wisely, plan ahead, and have at it. This is vegetarian
cooking of a sophisticated kitchen and palate (using "sophisticated"
in the title would presumably scare off anyone not inclined to
struggle with food). Many of the recipes could fall out of cookbooks
of various ethnic origins where a mainly vegetarian diet is the
rule rather than the exception.
