How To Cook Vegetarian - Savvy Vegetarian Tips, Techniques, Basic Recipes

Vegetarian Cooking For Non-Cooks, New Vegetarians, Or Anybody Who Wants To Eat Delicious Vegetarian Food

When I went vegetarian, back in the sixties, I had a lot of energy and enthusiasm. But I had a hard time cooking vegetarian, because I only had the vaguest idea what to cook, or how to cook it.

There wasn't much help available for vegetarians. I ended up eating lots of cooked cheese, brown rice, overcooked broccoli and carrots, brown lentils - and not much else.

I spent the next couple of decades learning what to eat and how to cook vegetarian, while I was a stay-at-home mom. Now, I know I was lucky to be able to do that, even though I felt hard done-by at the time.

These days, vegetarianism is becoming main-stream, it's even cool to be vegetarian, and there's a lot more information and support available. But we've heard from many different people that cooking is still one of the biggest hurdles to going vegetarian:

  • They don't know how to cook, or don't like cooking
  • There's no time or energy for cooking
  • Vegetarian foods are hard to find, or too expensive
  • They don't know any other vegetarians
  • Living with non-vegetarians makes it hard to cook veg

But many people have also said they've realized that cooking is the easiest, cheapest way to eating well.

We know that adopting a vegetarian diet is a big lifestyle change. It takes time and energy to develop new skills, and re-arrange your life. If you're reading this, you may be cooking challenged, but you probably already know why it's worth it to go vegetarian, and you're motivated to overcome the obstacles to a happy, healthy, vegetarian diet.

We hope the Savvy Veg articles and links will help you eat delicious vegetarian food, without spending all your time chained to the stove, or busting your budget trying to feed yourself, or hassling with the non-vegetarians in your life. Who knows? You might even learn to love cooking!   Judith Kingsbury, Savvy Veg
