Return to article: How to Plan a Vegetarian Christmas Feast
on 11/22/2005 Plenty of recipes can be "veganized" by using vegan substitutes of ingredients, like soy milk for milk, vegetable margarine for butter, vegetable shortening for lard, or soy cheese for cheese. Please remember that animal products include honey, gelatin, marshmallows, some soy cheeses, some meat imitations, and some white sugar.
on 11/22/2005 If you are going to be cooking for a vegetarian, make sure you ask them if they have any allergies. Lots of vegetarian substitute recipes use nuts, tomatoes or mushrooms and allergies to these foods are very common! Also, speaking as a vegetarian, although we always appreciate any extra effort our carnivorous friends may go to for us, we get sooo sick of cheese! The average vegetarian is likely to know more about food than the average carnivore, simply because we have to spend more time thinking about it (no offense intended), so just talk to your intended vegetarian guest. And don't be frightened, it's really not that difficult!
