Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I have at least 10 Veggy Cook Books at home. I spent about 4 hours this weekend in Barnes and Noble in the Veggy CookBook Section. What I've concluded is to make my food more colorful and to change up the spices. As a result spent about 2 hours cooking this weekend and have made my 21 meals for the week. Feels really good to have all of my new food " good to go " , so to speak. I need to branch out more and try new things to spice up my food/life. Can anyone recommend their fav Veggy Cookbook? What I'm looking for are good veggy stews (w/protein). Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi Bob, I have a few veggy cookbooks and some that aren't all veggy but have good veggy sections or options. One of the latter is an Indian cookbook by Smita Chandra called " From Bengal to Punjab " . It has sections with fish & meat, and the veggy sections are great! It's a small book, I have it in paperback. If you don't mind having a book around with meat recipes in it, you might like this one. I still use the original Moosewood Cookbook. I also like the Enchanted Broccoli Forest. I have another veggy book by Mollie Katzen which I don't recommend (Vegetable Heaven). Laurel's Kitchen is a classic that has some stew-type recipes. The Vegetarian Epicure books (3, I think, by Anna Thomas) are also good ones. I know there are tons of others out there that I'm just not familiar with. Maybe there are some good veggy crockpot (slow cooker) books. Anyone else have recommendations?? Cinzia , " Bob " <yogabob7 wrote: > > I have at least 10 Veggy Cook Books at home.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi Bob, I like Arrowhead Mills cookbook. Every recipe I've made from it is a winner, and they're all vegetarian and brown already. I've had it for about 15 years-not sure if it's still in print, but I highly recommend it.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi Bob 'Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone' by Deborah Madison is one of the most inspirational cookbooks I've got. It's huge and covers just about everything, with loads of hints and tips for making the recipes your own. I can heartily recommend it to everyone!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi Jenny and Bob, I have her soup cookbook and it is really creative too. There is a peanut soup recipe that gets raves whenever I make it.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Bob, I love to recommend Dr. John DcDougall Quick & Easy Cookbook. He has loads of recipes that are quick to make (15min or so), high in browns, protein and veggies. They are also dairy free! I have made several and have been quite happy with them. They also encourage the use of spices and condiments to make the food as flavorful as you like. AND the recipes are also low in fat!!!! I also love to recommend Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman who also shares vegetarian recipes that are brown and protein friendly, full of fruits and veggies and no dairy! AND of course low in fat. He has a very pertinent hint for us sugarholics and that is to add greens to every meal possible. Greens (spinach, lettuce, kale, chard) have a very stabalizing effect on blood sugar. I feel a huge difference when I eat my greens; my sugar cravings diminish considerably. If only I remembered to eat them more often! Hope that is helpful!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Why would we be concerned with low fat?

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 hi Melissa I did low fat for many years and one of my great joys of the steps is that I discovered my body thrives on good fats ( particularly my skin!) Such a relief. I think that it was a big part of step 3 experience for me. I'm so glad about that in several ways. Sounds great for protein greens and browns! I'm glad you feel great on greens - isnt it amazing as we learn to listen to what our bodies are saying! How is breakfast ? Do you feel like sharing about your 4 parts and how they are working for you? Love to hear. mosaic , " teach4withlove " <mmeast wrote: > > Bob, > > I love to recommend Dr. John DcDougall Quick & Easy Cookbook.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 - Hi Mosaic, I digress...my DH is on a get-rid-of-fat fad and I think I projected that to everyone else! Please take it with a grain of salt. I actually do not endorse a low fat diet. I eat lots of nuts and nut butters, veginaise, tofu, soymilk, flaxseed, etc. What I do endorse and am helping DH to see is that the bad fats he wants to stay away from seem to be joined at the hip with...SUGAR! I am sharing what I am learning with him and the lightbulb is flashing... As far as breakfast.... I am eating within one hour of waking. I am eating about a 1/4 cup of some concentrated protein (nut butter, protein drink-2 cups, beans, pates, etc.) with 1 c. of whole grain (rice, polenta, etc.) and a fruit or veggie. I expect that I need to eat more protein but that will have to happen gradually otherwise it makes me feel sick and heavy. I have also just begun journaling this week. Is this what you mean by the 4 parts of breakfast? I have reread SARP and cannot find a 4 part breakfast plan! Am I close to it? Thanks for all your help and encouragement!
