my mom would let me go veg.then when i turned 15 i took ita step

further and became vegan.i became a Hare Krsna when i was 23...now at

the age of 25 im living happily and healthy! my husband and i are

planning on having little vegan babies very soon so im excited about

that.cooking has always been my fav thing to do (my husband

appreciated that!hee,hee) i owe it to my mom to force me to cook for

myself since i ws 10. and as i mentioned before i am makign a cooking

zine. i have cooked for lots of hardcore bands that stay with my

husband and i none vegan but they all love my food! thats such a nice

feeling,you know? my husband and i run a hardcore record label so i

Well, I've seen dried cilantro leaves, but the thought is rather yucky ;=(

Anyway, it'd taste different - not that fresh taste of just out of the garden

(or,

let's be honest, fridge!) ;=) But cilantro, in one form or another, goes in so

many things we make - either the roots in soups and stocks, the stems cut up

very fine and added to anything we like, the leaves chopped and scattered

over so many platters. The coriander seeds, of course, are great in so many

curried dishes - hard to imagine doing without them!

Maybe you've got me confused with another member, cuz I'm not hare krishna

or anything ;=) Just like good food. I've been cooking asian food of various

kinds for some years now - I guess I made my first Indian curry around, er,

well, 45 or more years ago now LOL I began cooking other asian dishes

about the same time, before it became 'stylish'. Just prefer that kind of food.

 

Nice to hear your story of how you became veggie and then vegan ;=)

Thanks. Good luck with the cooking zine! Keep us up to date about how it's

going, won't you!

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)
