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.
Vegetarian cooking is much more than just 'meatless'. There is an art of blending flavours and textures in the right combination to create tempting masterpieces for non-vegetarians who eschew meat. For Hindi cooks practicing Ayurvedic cooking, food is more than nutrition – it is a meditation, a gateway to higher consciousness. Three main ingredients and six tastes (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, bitter and astringent) should be considered in making each dish and the food prepared according to Ayurveda is eyes, nose, mouth and mind.

The best vegetarian diets are 'meatless' versions of food that usually contain meat. 'Meatless' lasagne shows that something is missing in the recipe. Anyone who's eaten spinach lasagne knows there's nothing wrong with it – the combination of creamy cheese and spinach and spices is perfect on its own. Polenta with Spicy Black Bean Sauce doesn't require meat to make it more complete—it melts on the tongue and sticks to the ribs when done right.
Even within the overall umbrella of 'vegetarian food' there is variation. Outside of Western culture, most dishes contain little or no meat – so it is not surprising to find vegetarian staples in Indian and Chinese cuisine, or Russian cooking and African regional cuisine. Many main dishes are based on legumes and nuts. Peanut and cashew soup, hummus with spices and lemon, fermented black bean sauce over bread and pasta, and rice and couscous – Middle Eastern and African cooking offers all this and much more.

If one sees a vegetarian diet as an 'alternative' to cooking with meat, one is sure to be disappointed. It is a way of eating and cooking, spices and combinations that can be light and fluffy like meringue or can be thickened and chewy as in the best seven-grain bread. If you've never tried a true vegetarian diet - as opposed to 'meatless' or 'meat substitute' - the best place to start is at your nearest Indian or Middle Eastern restaurant. You'll be amazed at the taste and texture—and you won't even notice that there's no meat.

FAQ
Do vegetarians eat eggs?
Well, the short answer is yes! Unless they're vegetarian (meaning they don't eat dairy, eggs, or any other animal-derived products), some vegetarians eat eggs and belong to a group known as lacto-ovo-vegetarians, which is the most common type of meatless diet, according to the Vegetarian Society.
Do vegetarians eat rice?
A large number of non-vegetarian foods are packed with protein, iron, B vitamins and other nutrients that carnivores get through meat. However, beans and rice are complementary proteins, meaning together they contain all the essential amino acids. This makes them a great choice for vegetarians, so if you like them, dig in.
What is pure vegetarian food?
A vegetarian is one who eats only plant foods (vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, and nuts) and no animal products (meat, fish, dairy products, eggs).
