The pocket guide to healthy eating without meat.

"Welcome to this compact vegetarian handbook, brought to you by BBC Vegetarian Good Food magazine. Our aim is not to campaign to convert you to vegetarianism, but simply to provide a service and offer help and advice to anyone interested in eating without meat - whether it's just for the occasional meal or for the long-term. There are many reasons to do so. Apart from concerns about animal welfare, it is proven that a diet high in fruit, veg and complex carbohydrates such as pasta and rice is very healthy and can protect against certain diseases. It's also true that many of us are concerned about eating highly processed foods and those that contain genetically modified elements like soya, or foods that are produced in a way that gives either animals, or the environment - or both - a bad deal. And it's more than that... vegetarian food can be different, delicious and exciting. Cooking good veggie food is not complicated or time-consuming, but the results can be fantastically colourful and the combinations of flavours intriguing. Try it and enjoy something new. In this book, you will find lots of facts, tips and useful information that will help you - whether it's with cooking quick and easy meals, getting the nutritional balance right, or choosing animal-friendly products. Enjoy it!"--From page 5.
