Make Your Own ‘Cookbook’
When I first decided to change my diet to vegetarianism I went on a cookbook shopping spree. If it had “vegetarian” or “vegan” in the title, I had to have it. Unfortunately, many of those cookbooks went largely unused. I found quite a few of them to be just a little too much for a veggie newbie, like myself. If I didn’t know what half the ingredients in a particular recipe were, how the hell was I going to make it?! Another issue I ran into because of my ignorance regarding the ingredients was none of the recipes sounded very good. They may have been wonderful, but not knowing what went into the dishes left me cold and indifferent about trying them.
To avoid this unpleasant situation, I recommend browsing a few vegetarian recipe websites, which will allow you to pick and choose the recipes that sound best to you, using new ingredients that you actually want to try. You can start assembling a (FREE!) “cookbook” of your own online. Vegetarian Lunchbox is a great place to start. They’ve got it all, from soups and salads, to great kids’ meals, to smoothies! There’s a wealth of information available, and it’s a great place to get your feet wet without having to purchase a cookbook you may end up not liking much.
