Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 to the cookbook folks: Rick Charney's the Bold Vegetarian is terrific, as is anything by Deborah Madison, especially Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I think general veggie cookbooks USUALLY are not that interesting. I have found more unusual and better tasting recipes in the ethnic cookbooks..most cuisines have decent veggie offerings, and if you become a more accomplished cook, can usually peruse ANY cookbook and make substitutions with lots of recipes..the internet has MILLIONS of free recipes and most monthly cooking magazines have great free offerings. This month's Food and Wine for example, has a great tomatillo and quinoa salad that looks killer...just keep your eyes open. Personally, I wouldn't even feed my dog anything made from a McDougal recipe, lol. Good luck! Tracy G.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 I've got well over a hundred vegan cookbooks, and my favourite is " The Vegan Gourmet " (Geiskopf-Hadler, Susann, & Toomay, Mindy. (1995). The Vegan Gourmet. California: Prima Publishing.) The most aesthetically pleasing recipes I've seen in a long time. Vegetarian fusion that will impress any eater. How does " Sweet red pepper strips with artichoke and caper filling " sound to you? I list a bunch of favourite cookbooks on my (non-commercial) site if you're interested. They're not all vegan or vegetarian (I adapt a lot of the recipes from traditional recipes to be vegan) but they're all good. http://members.rogers.com/groovegan/cookbooks.html (this is the link to the cookbooks) Keith - Thursday, March 20, 2003 12:43 AM Digest Number 913 > > > Post message: > Subscribe: - > Un: - > List owner: -owner > > Shortcut URL to this page: > /community/ > ------ > > There are 5 messages in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Janet, Kudos to you for being able to go through all of this. Wow! I am sure it doesn't feel like you are strong most days, but you are, for sure! I wish that I had fabulous words of wisdom for you, but I don't. I can only suggest you check out as many vegetarian/vegan cookbooks as you can from the library and try every recipe that you can get to fit your restrictions. This is where I have come across some wonderful recipes. I highly suggest the Garden of Vegan and How It All Vegan, both by Sarah Kramer and Tanya Barnard. There is a wonderful spicy black bean burger that your son might eat. (?) (My brother still hates beans but some kids just need to learn to like them...wasn't sure which your son was. ) And also a great recipe called Sweet Polenta Pie. It is a polenta crust with roasted veggies on top. I haven't made it yet but it sounds amazing! I suggest polenta or cornbread for crust for casserole, main dish pies, etc. If you need a great cornbread recipe, I can type mine up. It is vegan and can easily be made soy-free! We do lots of mexican type dishes if you want some help there! Have you made lasagna? It is kind of hard to find GF noodles, but once you do, it is very easu to throw together some noodles, sauce, and extra veggies. My friend made a vegan ricotta cheese substitute once but I can't remember if it was soy-free. I hope that atleast gave you a few ideas. Please don't hesitate to ask for more! Have a great weekend! -Nina Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Enter now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 This was very informative. A few years back I looked for halvah recipes but most were Indian type and mostly carrot halvah. I did find some sesame halvah after much looking. Now I'll have to visit Greece. GB The many faces of Halvah The many faces of Halvah Like the dolma and baklava, halvah is one of those dishes found from the Balkans to India and claimed as its own by practically every culture and country in between. There are many versions. Basic halva, as it is found throughout the Balkans and Turkey is a simple dessert. The most common version is made by cooking semolina and then shaping it into balls which are then sweetened with either honey or " pekmez " (petimezi)- grape must syrup.
