Vegetarian Cookbooks


The cookbook - Millennium Cookbook: Extraordinary Vegetarian Cuisine by Eric Tucker has several delicious recipes. However the recipes are not quick and easy. I tried preparing the hedgehog tamales and they were delicious but it took me steadily working from 9 am until 4pm to get it ready. It is $13.97 at Amazon.com.     


A sample of the recipes:

Wild mushroom , wild rice and root vegetable roulades

Baked Madras glazed tofu with saffron basmati pilaf, sauteed vegetables and peach lime chutney

Lentil Stew with Millet almond pilaf and millet crepes

Roasted Corn and hedgehog-mushroom tamales with mushroom chile cream sauce

There are also salads, desserts, appetizer, soups, tians, what would you like?


Another book might be $15.99

Guacamole Sandwich

Avocado

Avocado is a staple food while traveling. It is easily portable and by heating a corn tortilla  it can become transform itself into a satisfying meal, especially when topped with a few radish or broccoli sprouts, some cilantro or parsley and perhaps a little finely chopped sweet purple onion.

Careful it is high in potassium.
