"Eating animals is a different nutritional experience from eating plants" 

Lots of people think that a vegetarian diet consists of mere leaves of plants. Or they tend to relate the term to the typical, boring, lettuce and tomato salad. But the vegetarian kitchen keeps evolving from simple salads to gourmet foods.

Their dishes are full of flavors, aromas, and textures, and can easily be compared to any of the dishes of fine cuisine.

In this collection of my favorite recipes, I'm including recipes from around the world; Italian, French, Middle East, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, etc... as all these cultures have a delicious plant-based food worth exploring. Hope you enjoy them. 


VEGETARIANISM AND WEIGHT LOSS

When choosing vegetarianism for weight loss, the goal is to look for foods that are very high in nutrients and low in calories... Which magical food is that? The answer is simple. Vegetables! fibrous vegetables. These fibrous carbs can offer you satisfactory meals, and help you lose weight at the same time.
