Cookbook talk:Vegetarian cuisine

Dawn's Fish and Eggplant Curry Curry Sauce: 2 tablespoons of butter 2 tablespoons of flour 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 4oz. of vegetable broth 3oz. of half and half 2 teaspoons of curry

Melt butter in small sauce pan. Once melted, add flour while stirring it in. Add other ingredients and mix.

Fish and Eggplant: olive oil desired amount of fish fillets desired amount of peeled and diced eggplant salt to taste lemon pepper to taste fresh parsley to taste minced garlic to taste

In a frying pan, saute the eggplant, lemon pepper, parsley, minced garlic, and salt in olive oil until brown. Remove from pan. In the same pan, add fish fillets. Add eggplant and then curry sauce. Cover until ready to eat. Fish and Eggplant Curry goes wonderful with rice.

This recipe doesn't say at what temperture to saute, and has no numbers at all. It's all either "desired amount" or "to taste". Also, no picture. I know that definitions of vegetarianism vary around the world, but in the US vegetarians don't eat fish. This dish would count as pescetarian, I think.

Para removed from bread
>, but unless they have a filling such as peanut butter or tofu slices, they provide inadequate protein on their own.

For some reason this criticism is often leveled at vegetarian foods, yet not leveled at meat eater diet foods, despite the fact that for both diets it is true but of no importance. Any healthy balanced diet does not mean eating only one food, and variation of protein intake from one meal to another is a non-issue.

> Eating in public places, like having lunch at work, can be a challenge.

I cant work out if this is a personal issue or a claim that being vegetarian is problematic. If the first, a textbook is probably not the ideal place for such things, and if the 2nd I've been to several countries and not found vegetarian eating out a challenge. This is especially so in the wealthier countries where such great variety is available.

> A bread rich in protein is always a good choice

Not so. Soy bread is usually a poor choice for a few reasons, which is why so few people eat it. Tabby 20:40, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion
Maybe we could turn this into an actual book? The organization is really good. Just have a chapter for each of these sections, with each page being a recipe. Of course, we could try to make all the recipes as good as possible too. Pictures are important. Perhaps organize each chapter (section) by how hard the recipe is? Or just alphabetically. Breads probably shouldn't be here though, since as the article notes, most breads are vegetarian. I hope that this idea isn't too hard, boring or just plain silly. :) Thanks for reading!
