There is undoubtedly a growing interest in the vegetarian catering dunkeld vegetarian way of living. More and more it is being proved to be a healthier way of life. Men, women and children turn towards vegetarianism for various reasons – health, humanitarian, ethical, spiritual etc. The health aspect is probably the most significant reason why many vegetarian catering dunkeld people, young and old, give up the eating of fish, flesh and fowl and adopt the vegetarian diet. It has been proved over and over again that meat and meat products can be left out of the diet with very confidence – there are so very many wholesome foods to take their place. In compiling this vegetarian catering dunkeld cookbook, I have endeavoured to use only wholefood ingredients. The more one can use these wholesome ingredients in the meals prepared for the family, the better it will be for everyone’s health.
The following are basic for a balanced vegetarian catering dunkeld diet. Firstly, replace refined and denatured foods, like white flour, white sugar, white rice and other pale ghosts of foodstuffs with wholegrain products, compost-grown whole wheat, brown rice, raw cane sugar, etc. It is also best to avoid artificially coloured and flavoured foods.
The main sources of protein in a vegetarian catering dunkeld diet consist of the following: cheese – made with vegetarian rennet, several varieties being available; nuts – almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, cashew nuts, peanuts, pine kernel nuts and so on; pulses – soya beans, lentils, chick peas, butter beans, haricot beans, dried peas, mung beans, lack-eyed beans and red kidney beans are some of the more well known varieties. Dairy products like butter and milk should be kept to a minimum, about 2-3 ounces is all that is necessary each day, more produces too much acid in the body. Only a proportion of some vegetarian catering dunkeld food is protein; soya beans 40 per cent, cheese 25 percent, etc.
A good vegetarian catering dunkeld salad every day is an excellent rule. This will not consist of a couple of limp lettuce leaves and a slice of vinegar soaked beetroot, but a good plate of raw and grated vegetables, from tomatoes and celery to carrots and raw Brussels sprouts, watercress, Chinese leaves, lettuce, chicory, cabbage, onion, radishes, cress, cucumber; in fact, anything available, embellished with raisins, dates, pineapple, raged or ground nuts, bean shoots, can be used in a salad. Too much vegetarian catering dunkeld olive oil may delay digestion and pass some nutritive elements too far down the digestive system to be fully effective – it is better to eat a salad without heavy dressings, although lemon juice is excellent. Cider vinegar can also be used as a change from lemon juice.
It is important to cook vegetarian catering dunkeld vegetables carefully and for the shortest ime possible in a minimum of liquid. It is better never to use salt in the water when cooking vegetables. Use the rediual liquid for soups, stocks and gravies, or even drink it. Provided vegetarian catering dunkeld they are clean and not contaminated with chemicals, potatoes are better baked in their jackets.
Finally it is important that fresh and dried fruits and raw nuts should figure in the diet: aim for a wide variety of roods to provide a healthy and interesting diet. Many people have a mistaken idea that the preparation of vegetarian meals takes quite a lot of time, but this is not true.
