Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi As of tommorrow, when I shop, I want to be veggie. I've tried several times over the years, and will keep trying until I get there. Can anyone recommend some good books on vegetarian/vegan nutrition, and also on raising children without meat, as DH feels that our 9yo needs meat for protein. I know that's not true, but I'd like to let him have some things to read so he can find out for himself. She could easily switch to a vegetarian diet, since she's not one bit picky and generally eats whatever we put in front of her. We're currently alternating between meat and vegetarian meals and I want to go all the way. It would be much easier to just not have meat in the house.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 When I first started to eat vegetarian I went to the library and checked out some cookbooks. The first one I read was Laurals Kitchen, it had a lot of great information in it. I also recommend getting vegetarian cookbooks from the library and trying some of the recipes before you buy the book.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Just starting out, I'd highly suggest using recipes from this group and going to the library and checking books out. I find that although I'm willing to combine familiar foods in new and different ways, trying something totally new doesn't come easily (for my framily either). Therefore I only get a dozen or so recipes out of a book and it makes more sense to get them from the library. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Oh, Debbie, don't tell my daughter. I still am buying books and she is threatening to sell all my cookbooks on ebay. But I love the books...the pictures are really beautiful and so is the food. Luanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saved money on cookbooks, I could reason that I could swing a notebook computer and with wireless connection can access internet and this group while sitting with my family in the family room watching TV.
