Food Combining for Vegetarians Jackie le Tissier
As a vegetarian, this is quite simply the best book on the Hay Way I've ever come across. It's jam packed full of brilliant,modern recipes for breakfasts,brunches,snacks,light lunches,main meals,side dishes, pizza toppings, sauces, dressings and chutneys, desserts,treats, biscuits, cookies,hot x buns,flans,mayonnaise,custard,cheesecake,bread, crackers,pastry.....as well as extremely helpful advice on how to correctly food combine. Also briliant advice on not to worry overly much about exercising, - this desire will come naturally as our body heals. So inspiring. My husbnd is a confirmed meat eater but even he loves these recipes and says he hasn't really missed meat in his diet so far! Would highly recommend this book to everyone.

Easy to understand and some of the best vegetarian recipes around
I've had this book for years and it's one of my "go to" recipe books, especially for when I have non-vegetarian people over. The recipes have great flavour and always impress - as well as helping to banish the preconception some people have that vegetarian food is flavourless. You never feel either protein or starch (or meat or fish) is missing from the meal, and it's so easy to do.

non-combining veggie - made less scary
My husband has recently decided to embark on a new eating regime - which before this book clarified things was annoying and defeating. Since reading the protein/starch chapter I have been able to manage to fit his eating in with the rest of the family. I have yet to fully grasp the Acid and Alkali chapter; but for people new to vegan or vegetarianism the recipes at the back are clear and easy. The only shortfall with the book is the the lack of specific data regarding calorie consumption - which has been an issue in this household because non - combining, non-dairy is great if you want to loose weight but not if you are trying to eat 2000+ calories a day. More substansive advice on this would have been greatly appreciated.
