asian and indian food You can buy quite a few curry pastes etc that you can add seasonal veges/tofu/curd cheese to instead of meat (check the packets as some have fish). Fillo parcels and salad - hell easy. I didnt like alot of the Alison Holst food. The same with the vege sausages that Sanitarium are now doing (they make a few under different labels) - they arent worth the $. Stir fries (noodles/rice and your own ingredients), nachos with no meat - easy peasy and kids can make. Burgers - nut rissoles used to be loved in my house (any nuts ground, breadcrumbs, herbs and any other seasonings, onion, mushrooms etc with egg to bind - shallow fry - you can work out the amounts). To be honest - simple is good and fast!

I've seen several threads start and die looking for vegetarian meals in here. THe most widely recommended book to get out from your library is Alison Holst's "meals without meat". I have a copy, and it's good in that you don't have to buy many specialty or expesive ingrediants to make most of the recipes in it. Most of them are very tasty so you can feel confident using any recipe you have the ingrediants for and see how you like it. Some will become fast favorites.

Vegetarian Meals My teenage daughter has just gone vegetarian so we're having some interesting dinners at the moment. Mushroom risotto was the 1st meal I made for her which we all liked, a vegetable casserole with herb dumplings is tomorrow nights dinner, udon noodle stir fry was very nice and we've had homemade burgers made with falafel. Interested to hear about other ideas as well.

now, I can fish out my recipe books but not tonight; I'm too tired. From my local Seventh Day adventist church where I took some vege cooking classes I got some good and tasty recipes. (you could look into that, it's cheap and informative. ) THings like peanut marinated firm tofu with mushroom sauce/gravy over noodles served with bean salad and fresh crusty bread. Also, the sanitarium site will have a lot of info as they make some items like nutmeat in a can and such.

for an easy meal you can do falafel into burger patties (chick pea patties) and make them up just like home made burgers with bbq sauce and all. THey're pretty tasty. Or if that's a bit beyond you, you can buy them frozen in the supermarket.
