Vegetarian Cooking

Some of you would have read the series of posts 'Vegetorrian vs. Carntrevor' that Stuart and I wrote while I was in Bermuda last year. It didn't convince me to become vegetarian, but probably did make me realize that I was probably eating too much meat, and that it is possible to be a vegetarian and not be... well, let me just stop there.

This morning, I went to a 'vegetarian cooking course for beginners' at the Yoga Centre that I have been going to for the last 6 weeks or so. The Yoga has been what I can only describe as life changing, so I figured I should give the cooking bit a go to. I have very little (read none) intention of cutting meat out of my diet, but would love to know more about preparing good tasty vegetarian food to balance it out a bit.

Unfortunately, I still have the issue of fitting in an hour of cooking into a 12 hour work day, 90 minutes of exercise, 90 minutes/2 hours of commuting and an interest in reading and blogging... and of course you also need to try and get 7 hours of sleep. But hey you say... there is 90 minutes spare there. Hmmmm. Cue small badly played violin.

It would be rather good to have ready prepared, but healthy meals available. Vancouver had it (wonderful city but far from everywhere).

Anyway... The cooking workshop was interesting, and the food was really really tasty.

I'm not not that you're actually implying it, but last year's debate wasn't about trying to convince you to become a vegetarian, it was about you not understanding why anyone would become a vegetarian.
