From the Introduction by Debra Wasserman
I started editing and laying out the manuscript for this book
on a hot summer day and completed the long task during a
blizzard. Like the changing seasons, this book contains a wide
variety of recipes and fascinating articles you'e sure to enjoy.
We've tried to include information that will be useful to the
beginning vegetarian as well as those who have been following
this lifestyle for a long time. Many of the over 200 vegan
recipes can be prepared with ingredients found in supermarkets.
In some cases, you are encouraged to visit a natural foods store
to purchase products. Most of the recipes in this book are
lowfat; however, there are a few exceptions. A nutritional
analysis is provided for each recipe and in many cases variations
are suggested in case you do not have a particular ingredient on
hand.
While using this book you may want to keep the following
information in mind. First, to keep the sodium content down in
each dish try to use salt-free or low-sodium vegetable broth,
tomato products, and canned beans when included in a recipe.
Second, if nutritional yeast is listed as an ingredient be sure
not to use brewer's yeast which is bitter in taste. Nutritional
yeast, on the other hand, is grown on a molasses medium and has a
sweet, "cheesy" taste. It can be found in natural foods
stores. Third, when you have the time you can prepare beans from
scratch and freeze them in small containers to use in recipes
calling for canned beans. When strawberries, blueberries, and
other fruit are in season, you may want to freeze batches of
these items in containers or bags for later use. Lastly, my motto
is "fresh is best" and cooks should use seasonal
ingredients. For example, if available, use fresh herbs. And
finally, don't forget to enjoy life!
