Vegetarian cooking is like a transition phase from being a carnivore to a vegan dieter. The current trend in vegetarian cooking is meatless grilling.
Barbeque conjures up a vision of rack of ribs, beef, pork etc, which definitely leaves out a lot of vegetarians. But the truth is many vegetables are good for grilling. Barbara Kafka, the bestselling New York cookbook author and vegetable lover, says the secret to successful vegetarian cooking is to know which vegetables go straight on the grill.
Vegetarian cooking also whets the appetite of fad followers. Going organic, getting environment friendly are options for the green eaters. Sites like veganiowa.blogspot.com and veggiedesmoines.com spotlight vegetarian cooking restaurant options around town, and vegetarians spread the word on dining options via Facebook groups and Twitter.
