In My 5 Reasons for Having a Meat Free Meal I mentioned the book Mark Bittman’s book- How To cook Everthing Vegetarian (a fellow omnivore looking to include more vegetarian meals into his life). He says you need to think differently instead of trying to convert a meat dish into a vegetarian ones i.e. veggie burgers, veggie lasagna etc. Look at creating several small dishes to make up a meal. This post endeavors to include lots of dishes that put together will create a Vegetarian Feast!
