i was just wondering if anyone had any sites or books that you would reccomend to someone to read.. if they wanted to check out information on becoming a vegetarian. thanks.

Chapters has a good selection of cookbooks for different lifestyles including vegetarian - check out their discount section too- they sometimes have different cookbooks under $20.00.

Check out your local library for books on the subject and their is a book thread on the veggie forum with recommended reads
Magazines I enjoy:

Vegetarian times
Veggie Life
Organic Style
Natural Health

Here are a few sites that might be useful to you:

www.thesavvyvegetarian.net, www.vrg.org, www.vegetariantimes.com and
vegetarian.about.com

www.vegparadise....I got this one from a 3FC member named VOW- she writes a colum called"Using your bean" for this on-line zine. It's free and has a lot of good articles and information.

thank you. i am checking them out now.

The UK Vegetarian Society has loads of archived recipes. You just have to work out the measurements from UK to USA. Plenty of ideas there.

Another great site:

http://www.veganfamily.co.uk

While I would be happy to recommend some of my fave books, I am well aware that a lot of the older books were "Cheese heavy", plus I am English and sometimes terminology and measurements can be a pain either side of the pond.

Most of the web sites are American apart from the UK Vegetarian society one I already mentioned.

Thanks Peacock!
