How to learn to cook vegetarian by SakanaFace

"You just have to dive in, vegetarian recipes are not more complicated, and not scary at all!"

How I did it: I moved out on my own recently, and have been cooking for my boyfriend and I. he's not vegetarian, but the recipes we've been cooking together have been so yummy he hasn't complained once! Find some foods you like. I wouldn't be too concerned with trying to find recipes that mimic meat, because there are just so many tasty vegetables fruits and grains out there anyway. Just find something you like and go for it! It's so much fun, i've even started my own cookbook. The entries include apple pie, fried eggplant, roasted zucchini, and bean and potatoe veggie burgers!  

check out allrecipes.com to get you started, or just start making up your own, happy eating! ^_^

Lessons & tips: When cooking vegetarian, these ingredients are you best friends:

extra firm tofu
fresh garlic cloves (put them in EVERYTHING)
olive oil
fruit smoothies
beans (beans and tofu can pretty much substitute meat in any recipe, but like i said, don't try to make "fake meat")
