marko- diet strictness~ cookbook recommendation

[Guest guest]

Well said, Melody.

I also want to add a suggestion for Marko....

If you don't know what food contain what nutrients you need,

don't worry. That information is easy to find in many vegetarian

cookbooks! Linda McCartney's 'World of Vegetarian Cooking'

cookbook is a classic example of this. In the first 5 or 6 pages of

this book she clearly and simply goes into the topic of vegetarian

nutrition, listing what nutrients you need, and which foods contain

them.

 

Many vegetarian cookbooks do this sort of thing, but I certainly

like the way she did it in such an easy to understand and

encouraging manner. The recipes are wonderful, too.
