OT Cookbook Help

[Guest guest]

Mindy, what a great thing to do! One chapter I'd suggest is more of a chart like

what to substitute to make a dish vegan friendly. Like soy or nut milk in place

of real milk. Maybe they could be little tips put at the end of a recipe or

chapter in a little box.

 

I'd add a chapter just on beans. There seems to be a number of vegetarians who

have difficulty using beans at first. Also there isn't a huge number of

different kinds of beans in the grocery stores in some areas. Down here I can

find black beans, pintos, kidney, Great Northern and navy beans in dry form -

that's it! I can find split green peas. So the desperate to be vegan (or

veggie's mom, wife, hugsband, significant whatever), can have some ideas of

yummy dishes to cook which the entire family would like.

 

Oddly enough - desserts. I can make the heck out of desserts however we're

lacto-ovo vegetarians. Other than fruit I'd be totally lost as to what to give

Donna, for example, since I know she is a vegan vegetarian. We're ok with eggs

and milk since we actually know the girls they came from and know the conditions

they live in. We know most of their names, too, but darned if I can tell one

Rhode Island Red from another.

 

Main dishes and side dishes. Sounds silly but at first I had a dickens of a time

figuring out what to serve as a side veggie dish. After all, the main dish had

or was veggies, so what do you serve?

 

Breakfasts. Easy if you eat eggs but...What do you do for protein if you don't

eat eggs? There are only so many times you can eat the same old same old dry

cereal with your choice of non-moo liquid. (I can think of bunches now but 23ish

years ago it was hard.)

 

Your idea is absolutely BRILLIANT! Best of luck! Jeanne in GA
