Let's begin with the definition of "vegan". According to Answer.com a vegan (pronounced vee-gan) is
"A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather.".
Okay, so this makes cooking vegetables as I normally do, a bit tricky, or so I thought. With a little extra planning and great recipes to follow, it
isn't so tricky after all. Pat Crocker's latest cookbook helps both cooks who have not ventured into the vegan realm as well as those who are seasoned
vegan-ites.
This cook at MomsMenu.com tried the Roasted Vegetables with Garlic White Sauce found on page 282 (omitting the hot red pepper paste) - WOW! Even my children, who
tend to look at vegetables and then make a face only a mother could love, enjoyed this dish.
"Catering to today's sophisticated palates and healthy eating trends,
The Vegan Cook's Bible capitalizes on the great variety and depth of natural flavors of plant foods and celebrates the very best organic fruits,

While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
