Vegetarian and More!

According to a recent survey, 14 million Americans call themselves vegetarians. of that, only 2 million eat no animal meat whatsoever. The remaining 12 million are part-time vegetarians who eat fish, poultry or red meat on occasion. For this large and growing group, Linda Rosenweig offers a cookbook to satisfy vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike. Rosenweig's experience stems from years developing recipes for Weight Watchers, Prevention and Good Housekeeping Magazines. Her 225 vegetarian recipes in this book include Quick Conversions, allowing readers to easily add meat, poultry or fish to some or all of the recipe. These are especially convenient for split households, where only a few members are vegetarians. The focus is on simplicity: Only common, store-bought ingredients are used and most of the recipes are ready in less than 45 minutes. The book also features the new Vegetarian Diet Pyramid from the American Dietetic Associations.
