What is the one thing you cannot live without?cookbooks and gadgets...

[Guest guest]

I use my Pampered Chef garlic press and small food processor the most when I 'm

cooking

healthy : ) As for cookbooks, Moosewood and The Passionate Vegetarian are my

favorites.

Recipes a little complex for every day, but I try to pick 2 " special " recipes

every week to

make. Ohhh my subscription to Vegetarian Times magazine too!

I have been reading all of the recipes posted, and I am seeing a number of

spices that

seem to repeat in many different dishes. I am putting a list together for

things like that

already. I love highly seasoned food, so I think that this is something that

would really

help me out.

Maybe it is a

type of supplement that I should always take? I think that I will learn as I go

along, but

would like to get a head start on some items that really assisted people in the

beginning

stages of being a vegetarian. Especially when they can be gifts and I don't

have to pay for

them.

daughter has

become a vegetarian over the last few years, and is the only one in the family

who has ever

done it. My sister is familiar with many products that are needed, so she has

given me

lots of good information today. She could probably think up some things that I

could

benefit from having, but I would like to get other people's feedback as well.
