Low-Budget Vegetarian Cookbook: A Tasty, Nutritious and Varied Vegetarian Diet based Primarily of Rice, Beans, Vegetables and Other Grains

There seems to be a prevailing popular myth in our culture that eating a diet with little or no meat or dairy products is difficult, or boring, or expensive and that it takes a lot more time and effort to 'replace' animal food with a healthy diet.

I find the opposite to be true, and this book is written to give you the basic knowledge and tools you need to have a diet that is primarily or completely based on grains, vegetables, and beans, that is nutritious, interesting, and inexpensive, and that takes no more cooking effort that you would need for a healthy meat-based diet.

Grains, vegetables, and beans, taken together, make up the core of the traditional diets of most people around the world for most of our history on our planet. They are the core foods that I talk about preparing in this book.

For those of you who have concerns about the digestibility of beans, I have an extensive section on making beans easy to digest, in which I pull together cooking techniques and digestive aid spices from different cuisines.

In this book you will find:
