Kerr for Time Graham Hill's Weekday Vegetarian concept is controversial among some of our readers, who don't think people should eat meat at all. But Time Magazine says that only 2.5% of Americans are strict vegetarians or vegans, and Graham's idea is that any cutback in meat consumption is good for the environment. Not everyone has the discipline to go, dare I say, whole hog; according to Vegetarian Times, a full 10% of Americans follow a "vegetarian-inclined" diet. But the most surprising

Photo: Kelly Rossiter This is the time of the year I always look forward to. I love it when dinner can consist of nothing more than a couple of ears of corn, a plate of sliced tomatoes and a green salad. There's nothing easier to make, and it's a totally satisfying simple supper. This week is going to be a celebration of corn at the Weekday Vegetarian, but I had to start with my favourite way to eat it, straight off the cob ...

A Super Spaghetti Sauce

A really good red spaghetti sauce that I have been making for twenty plus years. I believe the recipe came from the TV Guide magazine but cannot remember which celebrity submitted it. It's the only red spaghetti sauce our family uses. It's so tasty that our now vegetarian daughter also makes a meatless version. Don't leave out the aniseed, it will not overpower the sauce and adds a great flavor. You will need a large stock pot for this big batch recipe ... it freezes well. We always have some in

My sister brought this recipe home from culinary school. She raved so much about it that I just had to vegetarianize it. Quorn is my favorite fake chicken product, but any brand would do. -- posted by danakscully64 ...

Photo: Kelly Rossiter I wrote last week about how well the eggplant is doing in my garden and the eggplant stack I made, and this week my daughter brought a whole bunch more to the cottage. There are so many things you can do with eggplant and so many different flavours it works with. Although I love Asian-style eggplant dishes with soy sauce and hot chilies, I was feeling like making something more Mediterranean. I had some beaut ...
