The Gradual Vegetarian (For Everyone Finally Ready To Make The Change)
The Gradual Vegetarian - For Everyone Finally Ready To Make The Change Author:Lisa Tracy The Gradual Vegetarian is that workable plan - a clear, sensible, forgiving and gradual program for healthier eating that fits into today's busy urgan life-style. Gradual vegetarianism (the author's term to describe her own shift in diet over the years) is accomplished in three stages: in Stage One, we still eat poultry, fish and eggs; in Stage... more » Two, we rely on dairy products, nuts, beans and grains as the sources of protein; in Stage Three, we begin to experience meals from macrobiotic kitchens. We leave each stage when ready, or never at all. Lisa Tracy, a career woman with an infant son and a meat-eating husband, knew that for a plan to be successful, it had to be adaptable. Her special dual-menu plan outlines how to happily feed meat eaters and vegetarians who eat together, with a minimum of effort. She esplains how to shop as well as how to prepare meals, how to deal with the prejudices of mean eaters, how to handle dining out, and - above all - how to enjoy food more than ever. The Gradual Vegetarian also includes more than two hundred recipes, ranging from basic dishes to gourmet treats, from appetizers to desserts. With the most recent Roper Report counting 34 million Americans "concerned about their level of meat consumption," the idea of a vegetarian lifestyle no longer belongs to the counterculture. America's health-conscious ranks have brought it into the mainstrean. This book makes it accessible to everyone.« less
