Vegetarian Times Vegetarian Beginner's Guide Review |

"Although high heat can kill microbes, at least 9,000 people in the United States get sick every year from contaminated meat and poultry. Of those 9,000 approximately 500 die and another 6,500 of the survivors never fully regain their health." ~ pg. 9
Whether you want to be a vegetarian or are just looking for ways to include more veggies in your diet, this book explains how you can make more healthy choices. Designed for new vegetarians, the authors dispel popular myths and misconceptions. They show how eating more vegetables can reduce heart disease, cancer and diabetes. "...the protein found in vegetables has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels..." ~ pg. 119 If you are worried that you won't get enough protein from a vegetarian diet then you will love the foods suggested in this book. You may not think of foods like avocado and lentils as having protein. Oatmeal, tofu and beans also help to give your body the protein it needs. There is also information on why a high protein diet leaches calcium from your bones. For the most part this book presents a fair and balanced approach to food studies as they provide both sides of the issue. The section on the poor treatment of animals is quite short, although convincing. You might be shocked to learn that over sixty-four drugs are administered to dairy cows. When you think about it, soymilk sounds like a good idea. One of the sections in the book focuses on restocking a pantry. From my own experience in the last few weeks it is best if you just buy what you need for the recipes you are trying. Soon you will have a stocked pantry with all the right ingredients. Since I've been trying a variety of soy products I noticed that the cheese is less salty and the soy yogurts are less sweet. This is great because so much food you buy at the grocery store is overly salted and sickeningly sweet. While the recipes in this book are not comprehensive there are quite a few interesting selections. You may enjoy a quick minestrone, glazed root vegetables, an apple salad or even a cassoulet. There are plenty of cooking tips and a note about the importance of reading labels. One of the things you will probably decide while reading this book is whether or not you will be a true Vegan or an Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian. This is important to decide because on the one hand you avoid all dairy and eggs and on the other you are free to eat them in moderation. If you are looking for recipe books or books on a vegetarian lifestyle I can recommend the following: Skinny Bitch- a very convincing read! Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Recipes for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (and Start Looking Hot!)- the best vegetarian recipes I've found so far Weight Watchers Versatile Vegetarian Vegan with a Vengeance : Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day Real Food Daily Cookbook: Really Fresh, Really Good, Really Vegetarian Enchanted Broccoli Forest ~The Rebecca Review P.S. The Quick Minestrone is an excellent recipe. My husband had a bowl too and thought it was quite good. It only took 20 minutes to make and it freezes well. |

Vegetarian Times Vegetarian Beginner's Guide Review |

Silly though it may sound, it's actually harder to become a vegetarian than you might think. Eliminating an entire food group from my diet left me scrounging for things to eat, and as I munched on carrots I was wondering if maybe I had made too hasty a decision to give up meat altogether. That's where this book has been the biggest use, providing me with tips and tricks to help me stay the course, and introducing me to new foods I might not have thought of trying.
Chapters Two and Three alone have made the book worth my purchase. Chapter Two, "Vegetarianism 101," outlines some basic vegetarian nutritional information, presenting alternative sources of iron, protein and dairy products. The chapter includes tables that break down the nutritional information of various foods, providing a quick reference when you want to look up alternative sources of iron or see how many grams of protein are in certain foods. The chapter also explains some of the more "vegetarian" foods, like tofu, that seem a little intimidating at first, and lists a few you may not have heard of (like seitan and tempeh). Chapter Three, "Ready, Set, Eat!" provides tips on stocking a vegetarian pantry, including a list of staples that I found particularly helpful when shopping. The biggest portion of this chapter is devoted to recipes, which are broken down into two weeks worth of planned menus complete with shopping lists. I haven't tried them all yet (I've had the book less than a week), but the ones I have are fantastic. The Pan Bagna recipe even had my carnivorous husband begging for seconds. The rest of the book focuses on related topics like the health benefits of going veg, how to be more environmentally-conscious, and a look inside the lives of livestock. Really, I just skimmed over this information, since I had already made up my mind to go veggie before I bought the book. However, if you're still trying to decide whether the lifestyle is for you, the information may help you with making the decision. I'm finding this book a valuable tool for my foray into vegetarianism, and I will certainly be using it as a reference (and a cookbook!) for a long time to come. |

I don't know what I was expecting when I got and began reading this book, but it's not quite what I expected--if that makes any sense. This book really skims the surface of vegetarianism, and I was looking for something more. It's a good reference source, and the recipes are simple on paper. I'll probably be able to better appreciate this book after I've had a chance to read others. |
