Guest guest Posted October 20, 2000 Report Share Posted October 20, 2000 I've been lurking here for about 4 weeks, so I thought it was time I introduced myself. I'm Brandel. My husband, four kids, and I live in Jerusalem, Israel. I've been a vegetarian for 25 years (as of this coming December), my husband for 23 (since we started dating ), and my kids their entire lives. (And they are disgusted by the idea of eating animals!) We're lacto-ovo. Israel doesn't have the availability of such a wide variety of foods (especially " specialty " foods like a lot of vegetarian products) compared to the US, and things tend to be expensive, but it's slowly improving. My favorite cookbook that hasn't been mentioned yet is _American Wholefoods Cuisine_ by Goldbeck and Goldbeck. It doesn't have a lot of vegan recipes, but it's very good for what we need, and it has a lot of international recipes. But I'm very used to " fixing " recipes to make them work for us. In fact, I don't think I've used any recipe (including my own) exactly as written in a long, *long* time! I just can't seem to follow instructions without making little improvements (and they almost always are--in fact, a friend of mine gave me a recipe she wanted to try, and we both made it...she liked mine better).
