Having been a vegetarian for the last 25yrs I am giving serious thought
to becoming a vegan.
I would be glad of any advice on this. Could anyone reccommend some
good recipie books?

I can't recommend recipe books, but you don't want to brush up on the
nutrition. There is not a lot to know, but you should know it.
Check out the link in my sig.

It even describes the great book with the same title as this thread

"Becoming Vegan"

Be A Healthy Vegan Or Vegetarian

unless it can be seen on television or bought in a
shopping mall"

I have a directory of over 700 free
veg recipe sites. Many are vegan.
Hope this helps.

I like Rose Elliot's book on vegan cooking. Mollie Katzen of Moosewood fame
is also a favourite of mine. Bryanna Clark Grogan is another good writer -
she has a homely style and her books are not just a collection of recipes.

The best thing to do is contact http://www.vegansociety.com/html/

or your local equivalent if you're not in the UK. They publish recipe books,
give advice, hold events etc.

This is rather ambiguous. You do have to know a fair bit about nutrition but
it's not difficult. The main thing is to know what variety of pulses
(legumes), grains, nuts etc. to eat to get the whole range of Amino Acids -
and you have to know the importance of Vitamin B12 of course.

Don't forget Eva Batt's classic - "What's Cooking." published by The Vegan
Society.

And no jokes about it being cruel to eva batt over a cliff!! I cracked that
one at a Vegan Society event oncer not knowing she was standing right behind
me!

South Indian food is mostly Vegan so any good S Indian cookbooks will be
useful. use a light oil like sunflower or olive instead of ghee and watch
out for the very few dairy ingredients used.

I use "Indian Vegetarian Cookery" by Jack Santa Maria, Rider and Co. London,
ISBN 0-09-118391-9, and "The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking - Lord
Krishna's Cuisine" by Yamuna Devi, Century Hutchinson Ltd., ISBN
0-7126-3783-4.

"New Food for All Palettes" by Sally and Lucian Berg, Victor Gollancz Ltd.,
ref - 575 00072 4 (my copy is so old it's not called an ISBN number) is also
useful. It features food from all around the world. A lot of it is not Vegan
but can easily be adapted.

Can't find this one on Google so it might be out of print. Worth looking out
for a second hand copy though.

I'm not sure how much of what we're recommending you already know
since you've been munching veggies for quite a while. I myself have
recently stopped eating eggs and almost done with milk. A couple of
things perhaps you might want to research into and ask here are
1) Trace amounts animal by-products food manufacturers mix in food
produce and
2) Keep in mind the most healthy ratio/balance of your intake
regarding Omega 3s and Omega 6s. The healthiest balance is 1:2 or 1:3,
Omega 3 to Omega 6 respectively- a good amount Omega 3 are needed to
counterbalance Omega 6 as in Omega 6 can be 'too much of a good
thing'[actually promoting inflammation and related diseases]. The
typical U.S. diet is roughly 1:17 ! You likely know your best sources
for Omega 3 already [ALA -alpha linoleic acid type of Omega 3 [and
from that EPA type] found in veggies and nuts], but watch for Omega 6
[still very beneficial to ones health in correct proportions] which
since you are vegetarian you may only want to look at the vegetable
oils you use, and cutback on whole-GRAIN breads/cereals-processed
foods... google up on monounsaturated fats and polyunstaurated fats.
While Macadamia nut oil and extra virgin olive oil are your best
sources of mono-unsaturated fats, flaxseed oil isn't, but it is very
high in Omega 3 rich polyunsaturated fat as is [high oleic] sunflower
and safflower oil and these 3 oils are extremely low in saturated
fats. However the sunflower and safflower oils are high in Omega 6s.
Gets perplexing a bit doesn't it?
http://www.annecollins.com/dietary-fat/omega-6-fats.htm
http://www.annecollins.com/dietary-f...fa-6-chart.htm
http://www.50plus.org/Libraryitems/3...o_03_Omega.htm
http://www.youngagain.com/noname62.html
Getting deeper into it;
http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSupple...tyAcidscs.html
So while this info may not be vegan related directly, it's something
to consider in your recipe research.

I thought I should add

Dr. Gregor's web page.

http://www.drgreger.org/


He's a highly qualified medical doctor, reviews literature, does
published research and writes newsletters.

Nice link indeed, thanks....

You also have a smelly hole. People aren't exactly lining up to see
that, either.

I smell like roses. You can trust
that you won't get an invitation to
verify that. My line up will always
be greater than yours. I've seen
your picture LOL.

You smell like a trawler-load of distempered tuna.

[Kudos to JB for that line.]

Promise?

Only because my girlfriend absolutely forbids me from having a "line
up," as you put it.

Oh yeah, that girlfriend of 4 years
that you were caught lying about.

No lie, just a mistake. You're easily
mistaken for Gooby when you hide
under different names.

Roses don't smell like that even when they decompose.

No lying involved. Dreck assumes one cannot flirt or fool around if one
is in a relationship, but he of ALL people should know better since he's
a cuckold. Being married didn't stop his wife from shagging his own twin
brother. What I wrote to Jenae was very tame in comparison to what's
gone on in his dysfunctional family.

Nope. You sounded just like gooby
while hiding under your new pseudonym.
An honest mistake is not a lie.

You snipped up all the sentences that

Well, you don't want a real
