I've not (gasp) read Madhur Jaffrey's books but my sentiment toward Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is similar to yours. It is one of the biggest disappointments in my library. I like the idea of it more more than the actuality - its not dog-eared, tagged and stained like most of my collection. I am vegetarian (and gluten-free).

A recipe from Ms Katzen denigrates that its animal friendly. Sadly, she's off the vegetarian bandwagon, as you can tell from this recipe.

No animal parts?? The first three ingredients...

I never (have, or do) go to bed on an empty stomach. Its how I get a good night's sleep and maintain my girlish figure even over 40.

I'd settle for a veggie sandwich from Schlotsky's. Seriously.

peanut butter. yeah. sorry.

cheffy: what's your healthy twice baked recipe?

I like mine nekked.

all three, for different dishes

capers, sauerkraut (white AND red), felafal mix, canned vegetables, white wine vinegar, chocolate, coconut powder and cream coconut (hard)...I was in the pantry earlier and this is all I can recall!

funny that, on the home page it say's CAKE! German chocolate or cheesecake.

For steak, vegetarian!

People always seem surprised by the things I make; lecithin spray, cheese whiz that I can use as a dog training inducement when they get sick of peanut butter, dog food, Frosty Paws, dog biscuits, yogurt, ice cream, fakin' bacon, instant cappacino mix, bagels, pita, crackers, Greek pitas, pretzels, spankopita, spring rolls, tortillas, salad dressings, marinades, speasoning mixes, popsicles, and baking mixes - don't get me started on the mixes!

I'll try to make anything we like to eat at least once!

I use to like a vegetarian (tofu based) portobello & cheese burger/patty

The year I went single, with companions, I joined an awesome organic food coop. Problem was, often working late the night of the pick up (and most anyother night...truly) but the fruit and veggies and flowers were fresh and wonderful and when it was time for picking up/out the next weeks bounty, the left overs would be chopped in the cuisinart and used to suppliment the next week of dog food. They ate better than me, actually, because I had little time to prepare my own meals they feasted on leftovers...and my companion animals were never healthier!

Would I do it again - plan to, if I ever have more time :)
