Why vegetarian food?

Today, more and more people are becoming conscious of what they’re putting into their bodies. Thanks to the numerous scientific studies, vegetarian diets have finally “arrived” and are here to stay.

Even hard-core meat eaters are realizing there’s no getting away from fruits and vegetables if they want to live long, healthy, and active lives. However, realizing this is one thing, and actually getting your diet on the fruit and veggie track is another. It’s a lot easier if you can cook your own vegetarian food.

Cooking’s fun!

Many of us are daunted by cooking, let alone vegetarian cooking. Even if we do venture into vegetarian cooking, it’s hard for many of us to see beyond the regular fare available in restaurants (too spicy, rich, and greasy, this food is best when consumed occasionally), beyond the salad, and tofu (too bland and boring).

So what do we do? In my opinion, the best way to take advantage of all that’s available vegetarian-wise is to make your own veggie food. With easy recipes, cooking vegetarian food is easy, and fun – and more importantly, it’s good for your health!
