Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 Hi, I am returning to vegetarianism after some years as a meat eater. I had a cookbook with a great recipe for lentil burgers but can't find the cookbook? Does anyone have any suggestions for making burgers with lentils or tofu? I am also looking for South Indian (Karnataka) vegetarian recipes. Thanks and blessings to all, dhanalakshmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
