My daughter has been a vegitarian for over a year now.?
I want to encourage this change in her eating habits because its healthier. But now I don't know what to cook (most of my recipies are meat based) and when we go out to eat its hard to find a place that we both like (I'm tired of chinese and italian). Most places only offer a veggie burger. Do you know of any good vegitarian restraunts (in the chicago area) and recipies?
Answers:
I'm so glad your daughter has made this decision. And I'm so glad you are supportive of her.
Two great websites: www.vegweb.com for recipes
www.happycow.net for restaurants. I always see ads for Chicago Diner in veg magazines, so maybe you could check that out if it's not too far away. If I ever get up that way, I will have to check it out myself!
There are also tons of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks out there, more than I can possibly list here. Sarah Kramer's cookbooks (How it All Vegan!, Garden of Vegan, and La Dolce Vegan) have a fun, kicky feel to them and fairly simple recipes.
