Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 You might find these sites interesting. Enjoy ! A. ;-) http://www.webcom.com/ara/col/books/VEG/ht/ Description: Quite possibly the most popular vegetarian cookbook in the world, now on the WWW! A complete vegetarian cookbook including dozens of the most popular Hare Krishna recipes -- 2 Italian dinners, 2 Indian dinners, 2 Chinese dinners, 1 Mexican dinner, 1 French dinner, 1 Middle Eastern dinner, and lots of assorted vegetables and side-dishes. Also includes the advantages of vegetarianism from economic, ethical, and health-related viewpoints. http://www.harekrishnatemple.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?forum=2 & 34 http://www.rice.edu/projects/thresher/issues/84/970425/Features/Story02.html http://www.cybermilan.net/ Thu, 17 Jan 2002 14:38:43 EST chari34 Re: hare krishna > In the midwestern US, hare krishna are looked > upon as the crazy people at the airport, or > at least that's how my mom portrayed them.

I know exactly what you mean. I recently had lunch with an old friend, and I told her that I had renewed my interest in Hinduism and had gone a few times to the Krishna House (ISKCON temple here in Columbus, OH). She looked at me and wondered aloud if she was going to have to grab me in a few months or so and try to deprogram me! The Hare Krishna's are actually jokingly referred to as the 'kitchen religion' because of the prasadam (meal of holy food which has been offered to Krishna) which is served after the services. Lacto-vegetarian, I believe, and free although a donation is accepted. They use neither mushrooms nor garlic in their cooking, either. I will admit, when I first went there, I had no idea that it was an ISKCON temple. When I saw that name on the door, I almost left; I also had heard some wild stories and dire warnings about them. I figured that I was already there, though, and might as well go inside and see what was going on. What I found were some really nice, intelligent people who gave me some really incredible food! I bought one of their cookbooks while I was there, and may post a recipe or two from there after I try it out. > Cheap, simple, veggie (I wasn't veggie then, > but the country I lived in only ate rice and > beans and boiled starchy things with lots of > salami or egg grease) and yummy. Take a look in their cookbook; some of the stuff there isn't as simple as you might think! But nobody I know of has tried their food and said that it isn't yummy ... ;-) If I didn't know better, I'd think that they were putting some " special ingredients " in there. > The strange thing is, this third world > country had at least 3 veg resturants that I > know of.

Sounds like a business opportunity in the making! :-) -- Chari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
