I am trying to add more vegetarian/vegan/raw dishes to my repertoire. Unfortunately, I am an accomplished cook in the ways of red meats, sauces, everything that's not good for you. I love to cook things that people really enjoy. Since I am attempting to transition to healthier fare, I am particularly interested in Asian cooking right now. It seems to be a good stepping stone between the SAD and vegan/raw worlds. Traditionally my family ate the Standard American Diet, but we're trying out lighter fare. Hmmm... anything to do with killing animals, unfortunately. Lack of skill in preparing vegan/raw foods.
