Make Great Vegetarian Meals with the Help of These Recipes
Are you looking for a little help with putting together some tasty, meatless dishes? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of “Meatless Dishes in Twenty Minutes” by Karen A. Levin.
In her cookbook, which was actually published back in 1993 by Contemporary Books, Inc., you will find about 100 different meatless recipes that will be sure to whet your vegetarian appetite. As an added bonus, since meat is usually the most costly component of a recipe, the book offers yummy alternatives to those who are looking for less costly meals to prepare during these difficult economic times.
The book is divided into 7 sections, making it easier to select the type of meal you are interested in having. These categories include:
· Vegetable, grain and potato dishes
· Egg and cheese recipes
· Salads
· Sandwiches
· Soups, stews and chili
· Pasta
· Pizza
Based on the categories listed above, it is obvious that the book is not exactly geared toward vegans or hardcore vegetarians, as some recipes do include eggs as well as dairy products. In addition, some of the recipes call for adding chicken broth as well. Many of these recipes do offer substitute options for vegans, however, that can be easily made to accommodate other diet preferences.
With this being the peak of produce season, you can also add a little more nutrition and flavor to these recipes by using fresh vegetables. Vegetables such as eggplant, onion, tomatoes and squash are all abundantly available during this time of the year and they all make a great addition to any recipe.
