Vegetarian foods a brief introduction
Vegetarian food and vegetarians increased daily!
People are taking the vegetarian route and the long standing true vegetarian
stance of animal cruelty, is set to be replaced by health as the single biggest
factor of the vegetarian lifestyle.
High in fibre but low in fat, whole foods can form the basis of a vegetarian
diet. Many of the ingredients used will be quite familiar to you but the lesser
known ingredients are illustrated in greater details when required.
To cook and prepare vegetarian foods, one must have a grasp of how to deal
with the processing and cooking of simple food stuff such as, how to cook brown
rice, how to cook wholemeal pasta and how to prepare, beans, nuts, lentils and
dried fruit.. All of the previous ingredients will keep for a long time under
correct storage conditions. Not only do these ingredients provide and excellent
contribution to your food store, but they are very handy should an unexpected or
unannounced guest descend upon you.
Most vegetarian recipes require no special cooking skills and most definatly
need not be a burden on your time as many vegetarian dishes can be made ahead of
time and finished off at the last minute.
It should be noted that dried beans and pulses could be replaced with already
processed produce from a tin. A dried bean or pulse will approximately double in
its size when rehydrated, so if a recipe calls for 4oz of dried chick peas, you
can substitute these for 8oz of tinned chick peas. A similar situation arises
with the use of herbs in cooking vegetarian dishes. If you do not have access to
fresh herbs, you should substitute them with dried herbs but be sure to half the
quantity.
A vegetarian diet makes full use of fresh fruit and vegetables and are used
both cooked and raw. A rich source of many of the essential minerals and
vitamins, fruit and vegetables are a great way to add colour, flavour and
texture to any dish.
Fruit and vegetables in a vegetarian diet are very versatile and this alone
adds interest to your diet. So many fruit and vegetables in all shapes and sizes
are freely available throughout the year, although cheapest during their own
growing season.
There is now a huge range of fruit and vegetables available to the vegetarian
cook, from the common or garden, onions, potatoes and brassicas, through to the
more exotic delights of warmer climates.
Fruit in any diet, can help to offset the cravings of a sweet tooth, so it
maybe possible for you to cut down on additional sugar or sugary foods. A bonus
for those of us who need to watch our waistlines!
Vegetarian cookery is more of a lifestyle for a true dedicated vegetarian but
it also provides a very tasty alternative to meat based cooking.
Look at it this way.
A meat eater can eat vegetarian food but vegetarian
cant eat meat, so next time you entertain, why not consider a meat free recipe
or two for your guests?
Vegetarian cooking is no longer the elitist weirdo cooking that it once was,
it has become a way of life for millions of people across the world.
