Answer 2

Check out some Indian cookbooks from the local public library (Julie Sahni and Madhur Jaffrey are two well-known cookbook writers).

I am not a vegetarian but work with a lot of Hindus and the stuff they bring to company potlucks is to DIE for. I think Indian vegetarian cooking has to be about the best.

It's not expensive (you'll need to invest in some basic spices and aromatics) and doesn't call for any fancy equipment.

Answer 3

good for you going veg :)

try falafels with hummus! my favorite thing in the world.

just google some recipes for some if you want to make your own or get them from the box- these are great, too but it does depend on brand. i think greek and middle eastern food will become your best friend because most are tasty, healthy, and veggie based.

Answer 4

use zucchinni, tofu, eggplant, and large mushrooms as meat substitutes. theyre filling ,cheap, easy to prepare and all have a meaty texture. they are all rather bland tasting veggies and they take on the flavor of whatever you cook them in/with. some kinds of squash and beans are also good choices. dont forget rice--excellent value and very filling. the brown and wild have a nutty meat like taste and texture. brown and wild rice cooked with pecans,mushrooms, garlic, green onions and red peppers is a very satisfying meal.

Answer 5

Stir-fry with tofu. $2.00 worth of tofu diced up makes about 5 meals. High in protein, low in fat, interesting texture, takes on the taste of the veggies and soy sauce, browns nicely, served over rice- cheap, nutrish and filling!
