Conveniently Vegan: Turn Packaged Foods into Delicious Vegetarian Dishes

A diet with no animal products can seem utterly bewildering until you know the ropes. Consider Conveniently Vegan to be the ropes. Not only does it tell you exactly what such popular vegetarian foods as amaranth, bulgur, and quinoa really are (a tiny yellow-brown grain; dried and toasted wheat berries; and a small, nutty-tasting seed, respectively), it shows how to shop for and prepare them. Better still, it offers weekly menu plans, specific dishes high in calcium and iron (two nutrients tough to get enough of without meat and dairy foods), and dozens of recipes for soups, salads, main courses and desserts.
