Hi Group,

 

 

 

I decided to become a vegetarian at the beginning of the year. I really need to

learn how to make simple vegetarian dishes that don't cost a bundle and can be

prepared with relative ease. I'm particularly interested in dishes that don't

require too many ingredients. The simpler, the better. The cheaper, the

better. I am to cooking as oil is to water. A bit overstated, but you catch my

drift. I need to concentrate on fiber, protein, etc.

 

I am looking forward to many good recipes.

 

 

 

Thank you,

 

Dan
