I really enjoy vegan cooking, and here are some links which
include info and recipes (not all of them purely vegan and/or
vegetarian):
General information:
- For nutritional info, check out the searchable USDA Nutrient
Database, the Nutrition
Scoreboard, Mike Vincitorio's Calorie and Fat Gram
Chart, or a list of Food Composition
Tables compiled by Joachim Bartoll.
- For substituting ingredients, consult the Cook's Thesaurus, the Cooking Terms and
Recipe Substitution Guide, the Kansas State Ingredient
Substitutions page, or the University of Illinois' Foods
and Nutrition Solutions.
- For a scientific take on the whole subject, ask The Inquisitive Cook.
- It's got the prerequisite administrivia, but the rec.food.cooking
FAQ also has a goodly amount of useful info as well.
Veg(etari)an-oriented pages:
- The Veggies Unite! Home Page.
- Low- and no-fat cooking is often entirely vegetarian, and here are some
relevant sites I've stumbled across:
- A collection of fatfree
recipes.

4 Life and the Cyberdiet
websites (Warning: Both sites contain recipes using meat).
- Low-fat
recipes courtesy of Tom Dale.
- Just for purely informative reasons, I'm including P. J. Kelly's page
on no-fat shopping.
(Another warning: This file is pretty big, and may take a while to
load.)
- Several personal pages:
- Somebody named Tara has been kind enough to make a bunch of vegan recipes
available on the Web.
- Some guy named John has done something similar, compiling a bunch of
recipes from rec.food.cooking, rec.food.veg and rec.food.cooking.veg, and
you can find them here.
- Kate Pugh has a very nice collection of vegan and low-fat recipes.

cooking by one Noël V. Nevins.

recipes using living and
raw foods.

World from the International Vegetarian Union.

recipes on-line.

Specialty cooking sites:

one here.

Recipes.

Student's Guide to Indian Recipes.

Vegetarian Recipes.

Krishna Home Page has some Indian vegetarian (but not necessarily
vegan) recipes.

vegetarian (the recipes, that is-I can't speak for his friends).
- The winner of the "Tersest Title" award: India Food!
- Recipes from the Apna
India website.
- Based on the somewhat purple prose of her website, Tarla Dalal seems to
be the Betty Crocker of India; nevertheless, you can check out some of her
recipes either at her own Home
Page or at her link on the MyIndia.com site.
- Seems a bit Westernised, but you can take a look at the Welcome to
India website's Chef's
Corner anyway.
- Indian
Cuisine from India World.
- The India on Internet site offers you a choice: The fancy cuisine of
Jiggs
Kalra or the more straightforward recipes of Pét
Pooja.
- I'm not sure exactly what it is (a magazine, I think), but there's
comething called Feminaindia out there, and they offer some recipes, so,
what the hell, I'll stick 'em here.
- Even though the concept of "curry" is international, I think most
people associate it with Indian cooking, so I've put the link to the Curry Page here.
Several magazine-oriented links:
- From the Epicurious Food site, recipes
from Bon Appétit and Gourmet and a dictionary
of terms, foods, etc.
- The recipe pages of the Vegetarian Journal, and the
Home Page for the Vegetarian
Times.
- You can get to recipes from the Delicious! Kitchen via the Home
Page of healthwell.com
- It's a magazine, all right, but a purely Internet one: The Global Gourmet. So's Culinary.com, unsurprisingly.
- Food & Wine
discusses, well, food and wine, I guess.
- Click here to visit
the cooking section of the web version of Prevention magazine.
Commercial sites:
- Wegmans' Home Page has
some useful stuff, like recipes and how to cook various foods.
- Mama's Cucina, from
Ragu, has some interesting recipes, but is basically a big spaghetti sauce
advertisement; same goes for the Uncle Ben's website (for
rice, not pasta stuff--Duh!)
- One of my favourite foods is bulgur (bulghur, bulgar, burghul, or
whatever the hell you want to call it); a place called Sunnyland Mills has
lots of recipes for the stuff.

like? Go to Cooseman's Worldwide

info galore about wheat in all its forms.

chain stores in the US, and both have recipes (and other stuff) at their

my opinion) Mori-Nu makes the best!
(And for those who prefer the regular kind, there's always Nasoya Foods, too, located in one of the
towns I grew up in!)
- While I'm on the subject of East Asian cookery, here's the recipe
section of Kikkoman. Also, a link to the Asahi Broadcasting Company's
program, Emiko
Kaminuma's Cooking Time .
