Welcome to new member Caroline

[Guest guest]

Hi Caroline and welcome to the group. Also thank you for submitting the answers

to our questionnaire, we recently introduced this to give us and the group

members a picture of the other members and their interests. Also we invited

existing members to submit their answers too, so if you look through the message

archive you will find a lot of recent posts concerning that! Still the archive

is a good source of information, recipes etc. and I hope you find what you are

looking for, if not you can always pose a question to the group. Our Files

section also contains a varied selection of recipes, you'll find a lot of

vegetable and soup recipes there.

 

Best, Piers (co-owner with Pat)

 

Caroline's answers to the questionnaire:

 

1. I lost my taste for most meats and am now in transition vegetarian diet. I

like egg white omelets, veggie wraps and kasha, sometimes I have salmon

 

2. My doctor suggested a fruit and vegetable diet only. I do not like fast food

and learned how to cook from scratch. But We never had a wide variety of fresh

vegetables.

 

3. Currently, I cook for myself but my younger son, now in college would

only eat fresh fruit and vegetables when he was a young.

 

5. Are you careful to ensure no hidden animal ingredients are present in

prepared foods or packaged foods you buy in a store? Never thought about it.

 

6. Do you find you need to make an exception to your diet for medical

reasons (e.g. gelatine in capsules) or other reasons? Could you give an

example? NO

 

7. I am looking for soups I can make in the summer. Also How do I make

dinner so I am not hungry a hour later.

 

8. Do you like hot and spicy food? If so, what is your favourite? If not, what

kinds of food do you enjoy? I like hot and sour soup - without all the salt

please. I'm favoring rice and bean combinations in frozen food section but would

like to make meals myself.

 

9. Do you read a lot about vegetarian topics (in books, magazines, on the

web)? Got some books in the library
