For those out there looking for good health alternatives, a lifestyle change or are just horrified at this point by the realities of the meat industry, this post is for you. Having been raised by a farmers daughter and an the son of Polish immigrants, my entire childhood consisted of meat.
My metamorphosis started when I met my vegetarian wife. After years of trial and error, and much fighting, I slowly had my eyes open to the realities of meat consumption. Now I am not going to go on a diatribe here against the meat industry, nor am I interested in converting those uninterested in the topic, but if you are thinking about taking the leap and have not been able to do so because you think that you will never have a good tasting meal again, think again!
The reality is that the joy of food taste is in the spices, not the base material. Really go ahead, cook any meat you choose, just do not season it with anything. Now do you really think that it tastes that good? Without the spices meat is as bland as tofu. The solution to your transformation is this, learn how to cook! I mean really how to cook, not shake and bake, preparing dishes from scratch.
The very best cookbook that inspired me to become the cook I am today is none other than the infamous Millennium cookbook (only $24.95) brought to by the as infamous Millennium restaurant in San Fransisco. This book will teach you how to make amazing tasting food entirely devoid of meat, dairy or fish, and you will love it. They also offer many links to other very good resources on their sight as well.
