Munchie Madness: Vegetarian Meals for Teens FROM THE PUBLISHER
This dynamic cookbook is designed to provide tasty, easy-to-prepare
meals for teens and educate and support them in their decision to follow
a vegetarian lifestyle. Sections on vegetarian nutrition, tips for
handling social situations (such as school lunches, dating, eating out)
and goals (weight control, being an athlete), along with a heartfelt
discussion on the reasons many teens become vegetarian will be
appreciated by both parents and teens alike who find themselves
venturing into unfamiliar territory.
Teens taking charge of their own meals and parents trying to figure out
what to cook for their vegetarian kid(s) will be inspired by over 120
quick and easy recipes from three renown vegetarian cookbook authors,
Dorothy Bates, Bobbie Hinman, and Robert Oser. Let smoothies, shakes,
breakfast foods, salads, spreads & dips, soups, main dishes and desserts
provide a delicious, even nutritious outlet for the munchies!
FROM THE CRITICS
KLIATT
This is a good basic book for beginning vegetarians. It has really great recipes that are designed to appeal to teens concerned about getting proper nutrition. Suzanne Havala, a nationally recog-nized author and consultant in food nutrition, provides 20 pages of sound basic information about vitamins, sodium, food groups, school lunches, protein, weight control, and exercise. Bates, Oser and Hinman are all well versed in vegetarian recipes, having taught classes and published numerous cookbooks in this area. All the recipes list calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates. All directions are clearly written to ensure success for even the most novice cook. When possible, variations are given for key ingredients so that one need not prepare only the basic recipes. Some of the recipes: Smoothies, Muffins, Lasagna, Tofu Salad, Hummus, Peanut Butter Orange Spread, Red Beans and Rice, Falafel, Apple Crisp, and Orange Basil Vinaigrette Salad Dressing. A cautionary note about the preface written by the publisher's daughter (a vegetarian): the description of slaughterhouse conditions is not for the faint of heart. KLIATT Codes: JS—Recommended for junior and senior high school students. 2001, Book Publishing Company, 155p. illus. index., $9.95 Ages 13 to 18.
