An updated and revised guide to going vegetarian - with 75 delicious recipes to get you started! More and more people are going "veg" these days, for a variety of reasons; from health to ethical concerns. They'd like to try this vegetarian thing, but they have a feeling it might be difficult - and they aren't sure whether they'll have to give up their omelets and the occasional chicken Caesar salad as well. Do you have to go - ahem - cold turkey, or can you go meatless gradually? Will cutting down provide some of the health benefits of cutting out entirely? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Vegetarian, Second Edition, was a great introduction to both going meatless and the vegetarian lifestyle, focusing on ways to change eating habits as painlessly as possible and enjoying vegetarian foods without feeling cheated. It covered both health and psychological aspects, and it didn't bash meat eaters-great reading for someone who's considering all the options where eating is concerned. The only thing it didn't have was scrumptious recipes, and that's all taken care of now, with dozens of main dishes and sides, smoothies, breakfasts, snacks, and more!
