My wife and I are seriously considering becomming vegetarians,
but have know idea where or how to get started. There are
hundreds of cook books out there but we are both ignorant on the
subject. Right now we are still eating meats, neither of us have
the foggiest idea of what a balanced vegetarian diet is. For that
reason we have not made the transition, I don't want to just jump
right into vegetarianism without knowing what im doing. If there
is anyone out there who could help us with cook-book
recomendations or dietary outlines it would be very much
appreciated.
Please send responses by mail to: trwrb!pertec!marty
Thanks in advance...

[] I tried to reply directly, but the mail didn't go through ... When I gave up meat, I found that the most helpful book was "Laurel's Kitchen," which has since come out in paper. It has loads of nutritional information, good recipes, and a nice general sensibility. "Diet for a Small Planet" has lots of nutritional info and recipes, too, but the recipes tends to be a bit bland. One of my favorite cookbooks is "The Moosewood Cookbook" by Molly Katzen. It's a little too cute, but has great recipes!! Good luck with the switch. I've felt much healthier since I gave up meat 8 years ago. I was at that time living in a city (Ithaca, NY) with three veggie restaurants and vegetarian main dishes at most other restaurants in town, as well as a lot of sources of inexpensive and good produce, so it was easy to make the switch. It's been a lot harder since coming to Chicago, "hog butcher to the world." -- Melinda Shore University of Chicago Computation Center uucp: ...!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!shor Mailnet: staff.melinda@uchicago.mailnet Bitnet: shor%sphinx@uchicago.bitnet ARPA: staff.melinda%uchicago.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa

Address: Total Health Foundation P.O. Box 5 Yakima, Washington 98907 (509) 865-2555 It not only has scads of recipes, but also contains a LOT of sensible information that is left OUT of MOST cookbooks. The recipes are all low sugar, low fat, and low cholesterol. You might write them and ask them for the price on the book and for a list of other good books. You might also mention that this is all quite new to you, etc. Eugene C. Zinter

> One of my favorite cookbooks is "The > Moosewood Cookbook" by Molly Katzen. And for those of us who didn't grow up in Ithaca :-) there is the 'Tao of Cooking', produced in a less-cute manner with equally simple but zesty recipes. I would strongly recommend it. -- Nicholas Horton System Manager Cambridge, MA Aiken Computation Lab UUCP: {genrad,cbosgd}!wjh12!horton {seismo,ihnp4,allegra,ut-sally}!harvard!horton ARPA: horton@harvard BITNET: HARVUNXH%HORTON
