Hello, You might consider taking vegetarian cooking classes. The Seventh Day Adventist sometimes offer cooking classes for everyone, and you don't have to join the church. Just call up your local chapter. The course I had was a vegan course, and they tell you how much protein and what sources to get the protein from. They even give you a notebook with recipes and information on how to balance your diet. The down fall is that you will need a blender, because they use it to make cashew cheese. You might also check out the health complexes and health stores for lists of vegetarian cooking classes by other organizations. I took one at a health complex that was just vegetarian, not vegan. The food was really good, but they didn't give out as much info. at the Seventh Day Adventist did. The classes that I took were $5.00 and $8.00 per class. It's fun, you get to test taste the food, and you can ask questions. For magazines, I like Vegie Times the best. Good luck and enjoy yourself. I'll admit that I didn't go vegetarian; however, I still eat a lot of vegetarian food. It was rather difficult to cook meat for my family and not eat it too. I also find it to be a little expensive to buy the food I need plus the traditional food for my family.
