Christie~book, was: Doug and Mixed Vegetable curry Recipe

[Guest guest]

Only having had it a few days, I'm not sure, Thia. It has quite a few

recipes which include seitan, TVP and tempeh, none of which I eat

because they are too " meaty " for me. I expect I could sub tofu for

that if necessary, but I only eat tofu rarely. I'm more of an early

70s brown rice and lentil/veggie stew kind of vegan. But I think this

will be useful for entertaining. The desserts section looks pretty

amazing and I could run the risk of becoming an immensely fat vegan.

However all that is only based on a quick look through the book, as I

haven't yet tried any of the recipes. It does come very highly

recommended both here and on the feralvegetarian group. It all

depends on your diet and your circumstances - I often eat fairly

simple food because I live alone.

ok, thanks for the info. Does the dessert section lean heavily on tofu? I

have noticed most vegan books do, for the desserts. I eat it only rarely,

myself, and would like to find sweets that don't use it so much.
