Welcome to new member Barbra

[Guest guest]

Hi Barbra and welcome to the group. We hope you can find something here that

helps you with your transition, lots of recipes (in the message archive and in

the Files) and other information. Transition is more than just choosing

different ingredients, it's also a different way of looking at things -

depending on what part of the world you come from, the traditional omnivorous

main course consists of one meat (etc.) product together with some vegetables,

but there are all sorts of other ways of setting up meals, taking ideas from

Oriental and other cuisines. Here in Holland the vegetarian products in the

store are often described as " meat substitutes " which always irritates me a

little, they're not substitutes, they're nothing to do with meat at all!

 

Thank you for answering our questionnaire, I'm forwarding your answers to the

group (see below).

 

Best, Piers (co-owner with Pat)
