As one of Hunter PR’s resident vegetarians**, I am always on the hunt for delicious veggie dishes. I mean, I would LOVE to live off of grilled cheese forever, but alas, my nutritionist would not be too pleased.
In case you’re all like, “I like meat, I can’t live without it,” I thought I’d share some cookbooks/recipes that are helpful in beginning your trek to non-meatdom.
First, my favorite is The Grit Cookbook. Yes, I’m partial to this one as I worked at this Athens, GA establishment, but really it’s some of the best vegetarian food I’ve eaten. With recipes including Tofu Reuben (the best you’ll ever eat!), Black Bean Chili, various salad dressings, and vegan Chocolate Death cake (I can vouch for this as I also used to bake it!), you’ll be off to a great veggie start.
I also highly recommend subscribing to Vegetarian Times, or you can check out their recipes online. Here’s one that looks mighty tasty for Grilled Tofu with Wasabi-Honey Glaze. Yum!
Lastly, there’s Babe’s Country Cookbook. Who can resist Babe? I mean piglets are cute! This cookbook has 80 delicious recipes that are all super easy to make, and will have you wanting more veg!
While I’m not one to pressure anyone into vegetarianism (I mean my boyfriend and all of my family members are carnivores), I do think that a lot of people don’t give veggie food the credit it deserves. Hopefully you can open your mind, and your bellies, to more non-meat dishes. Enjoy!
