Vegetarian magazine

[Guest guest]

Several months ago we had a conversation about vegetarian times

magazine. It seems that those who wrote on the topic were pretty well

divided as to whether or not we liked it.

I was one who did not, but I have found a magazine that I do like and

want to share it with you. It is " Vegetarian " , a British magazine.

Rather than the fussy, busy, labor intensive recipies in Vegetarian

Times, this has family type dishes. Just good food. Of course I

haven't figured out yet just what " digestive biscuits " are, but I am

looking forward to learning as I have a perfectly wonderful sounding

recipe using the cookie.

I was given the magazine by a friend and am going to check into getting

a subscription. The issue I got was their summer issue with over 100

recipies that their chefs tested before using. The pictures are mouth

watering. There are several that I plan to use this week.

Can you tell how excited I am about this!

Several of the recipies are for take along picnic dishes that can be

enjoyed hot, warm or any temperature between.

As soon as I make some of these, I will post the recipies.

My local Thriftway supermarket -- a higher end suburban market in spite

of the name -- carries British foods in its ethnic foods section.

Digestive biscuits are whole wheat cookies that aren't terribly sweet

(biscuit = cookie in the Queen's English.) They're pretty tasty.

I to two of them, VegNews and Vegetarian Times. They're both

good, I think. VegNews is maybe a little on the light side, IMHO, but it

comes free with our membership in a local vegetarian group, NW Veg. I

probably wouldn't get it otherwise.

 

I've gotten VT for, gosh, over 25 years now. Generally I like it,

although it's gotten more upscale over the years, and that bothers me a

bit. But the recipes are often quite good. Even if I don't make them,

they inspire me to try something on my own.

 

I especially like the vegan recipes they've added. I started out back in

the good old granola days of the 70s, so I've seen the evolution from

heavy dairy to more sensitivity to animal products.

 

I'm not vegan myself because I really love cheese, but because of the

environmental consequences of my dairy use, I've cut way back on it. VT

offers some fine vegan recipes that I've tried and liked, and that makes

it easier to plan a meal without being obligated to dairy.

 

I've also at times been a member of vegetarian organizations that

publish magazines. The North American Vegetarian Society publishes

Vegetarian Voice, and the Vegetarian Resource Group publishes the

Vegetarian Journal. I've found both to be terrific publications. Both

are strictly vegan, but even this dairy lover appreciates and enjoys a

good vegan meal. The recipes are tasty and often quick and easy. Come to

think of it, I don't know why I let my membership lapse!

 

Cheers,
