Rabbit food. This is what my father calls vegetarian cooking and cuisine. Salads and vegetables - couldn't be more, right? Oh, but there it is. Vegetarian cooking is at least as diverse as 'regular' cooking - and in some cases, far more imaginative.
Nearly thirty years ago, Diet for a Small Planet and the follow-up cookbook, Recipes for a Small Planet, hit bookstore shelves with a resounding rumble that still resonates. Although many of the protein supplement theories put forth by Francis Moore Lapp have been proven fool proof by further research, the basic principle of eating and the wonderful meatless - and indeed vegetarian - dishes endure. The Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest followed, and then an avalanche of cookbooks devoted to vegetarian food.
