Hi, guys.

My brother has recently announced he is vegetarian, which I think is
great. However, he and his wife both have learning difficulties, and
I'm concerned that they need to understand fully how to have a
balanced diet.

Does anyone know of an easy recipe book that explains very clearly how
to have a complete protein, etc? It shouldn't be aimed at children,
as he would find that patronising. My brother and sister in law can
both read well and follow recipes, but good pictures would be
important, and so would everyday, unpretentious ingredients.

Is that a tall order? Our local WH Smith wasn't much help. I've
found Easy Vegetarian by Fran Warde on Amazon.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Kim

Is Diet for a Small Planet still around?

Hi
well, "Vegetarian for dummies" (can be ordered from amazon) will explain a
few things, althogh it does'nt have a lot of pictures. In generel people
need a lot less protein, than they think. I just bougth "Students vegetaian
cookbook" by Carole Raymond, that has som issues on that, although more on
how beneficial it is for nature to become a vegetarian. It has no pictures,
but a shopping list, a list for how to store vegetables, and tons of easy
recipies and inspirational sides, within texmex culture, sandwich, salads,
soups etc. Hope u can use som of it. Good luck.
