Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Greetings veggie fans. My name is Katherine. I am not a vegetarian. I just love the food. I went vegetarian once for a year and didn't find it to my liking so I've continued to have meat in my diet. I would probably be vegetarian but I love tucking into a good steak now and then and I doubt God will strike me dead for that. I like to patronize Asian and vegetarian restaurants because they know how to cook vegetables making them tasty and nutritious. It seems the American palate likes veggies boiled to a tasteless pulp, unless it's salad. I have learned to cook many vegetarian dishes. My problem lately though is that I have several vegetarian cookbooks and most of the recipes I try come out tasting so bland. It always " needs something " that I can't quite put my finger on. On the other hand I've had good success with experimentating with my own variations on those recipes and invented a few of my own that I would enjoy sharing now and then. I am also partnered with a filipina and found many ways to adapt Philippine cuisine to vegetarian dishes. I adore tofu and am always trying new ways to prepare it - some results are disasterous while others are out of this world. I have found that Thai cuisine has the most to offer as far as vegetarian dishes. If you are finding it hard to dine out and stay veggie that might give you good success. Look forward to exchanging recipes and food information with my fellow boardies. Katherine Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at HotJobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
