I have no idea but wouldn't it be mindblowing?

Just googled smt

I've had great success with Peter Berley's Modern Vegetarian Kitchen

and the cookbook I originally started out with

Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

This chef is from Toronto and is known for his vegan and raw dishes. He also has written a few cookbooks, one that is full of 5-ingredient recipes that I've been wanting to get my hands on! http://www.amazon.ca/Raw-Quick-Delicious-5-Ingredient-Recipes/dp/0778804550/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395024668&sr=1-2

I think the best thing to do is to grab a cup of coffee to go and head to your local public library. Vegetarian cookbooks are usually around 641.563 if you're using the Dewey decimal system. Grab a bunch of cookbooks, take them to a table, and start looking through them. When I was starting out I preferred cookbooks that had a lot of photos, as I wasn't always sure what things were supposed to look like. Now that I'm a fairly confident cook I can usually read an ingredient list and set of instructions to know if a dish is something that would appeal to me. Stick a bunch of post-its on the recipes that interest you and sign out a handful of the best books!

There are cookbooks that focus particularly on high-protein vegetarian and vegan meals, but in general you just want to look for recipes with all of the high-protein ingredients you know and love.

The Expectant Father! Both my SO and I read this book, and I LOVED it more than most of the lady-focused ones.

And, Conscious Parenting. I grew up in a family that was similar to your SO's. This book was great for me.

sproutpeople.org is a sprouters gold mine . but the beans ive sprouted ive not like the taste of . fave sprouts / micros are sunflower , i buy the basic black oilers sold as bird food in large quanitys then broadcast them at a rate of 1 per every 1/4'' covering with quarter inch soil . when they get about 4'' start cutting off at ground with scissors . a great salad green or on own raw . and the basic alfalfa sprout sold in stores is another fave i grow on own . i eat dry beans such as chickpea , lima , great northern here n there but see them only as semi healthy / nutricious because the heating destroys what i term as the sun light held in their cells . the sun light our cells need to run on or burn up in order to function at their most efficient or burn at their brightest . raw plants being like dry oak logs on our ' cell fires ' that allow our cells to burn hot thusly energizing us to ultimate levels . where as cooked stuff that is no longer holding sun light is like throwing wet logs on a fire which make that fire / our cell fires smolder , then those wet logs become bodily pollution and weakly circulated areas of cells which can start decomposing / rotting / cancering . must read books , old and not perfect but the outlooks of the late raw foodist norman walker are health gold . do not miss out on the lessons taught in these two books . https://www.amazon.com/Fresh-Vegetable-Fruit-Juices-Walker/dp/089019033X /// and in this book at page 15 theres 4 pages titled ' how to eat n live ' that are most important health info ive read in 25 years of self studying nutrition n natural healing : https://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Guide-Diet-Salad/dp/0890190348/ref=pd\_bxgy\_14\_2/133-0874067-0561228?\_encoding=UTF8&pd\_rd\_i=0890190348&pd\_rd\_r=4d661234-286a-11e9-898b-bde429f25e46&pd\_rd\_w=BCi6w&pd\_rd\_wg=IB6KM&pf\_rd\_p=6725dbd6-9917-451d-beba-16af7874e407&pf\_rd\_r=ANCCH6H3R4PDCHAS13R2&psc=1&refRID=ANCCH6H3R4PDCHAS13R2

After posting about Love Soup, I also found these which look great:

https://www.amazon.com/First-Mess-Cookbook-Vibrant-Plant-Based/dp/1583335900/

Reading online sources and watching online documentaries are a great way to begin exposing yourself to the logic and science behind veganism. After watching some of these videos, if you begin thinking that they could be right, buy this book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Raw-Cure-self-empowerment-lifestyle/dp/0988592002

The book is "The Raw Cure" and it covers every aspect of the vegan diet and lifestyle in a simple and easy to understand manner. Author Jesse Jacoby starts by explaining the problems with the standard American diet and includes lots of biological/chemical support behind each food item. He also breaks the book up into short, easy-to-read sections so you can skip around to topics that are especially interesting to you. Here is a typical passage from the book, regarding eating eggs:

>"Eggs are acid-forming in the body By eating eggs we form excess mucus. In addition to acidosis, the components of eggs, including concentrated proteins, saturated fat, and cholesterol, clog our lymphatic system, intestines, and colon. Raw egg whites contain enzyme inhibitors that require our bodies to use inteernal enzymes from the pancreas to digest. We always want to avoid using these enzyme reserves. To destroy these inhibitors, the egg whites require cooking, and when you cook them, you denature the amino acids that make up the protein, and harmful heterocyclic amines begin to form."

By the end of the second chapter, if you're not fully disgusted by eating meat, diary, eggs, synthetic food, etc, then you either are illiterate or uncaring about the welfare and health of your body (and environment).

Googling Cafe Gratitude Nut Cheese got me this, their recipe for Brazil Nut Parmesan. And there's a book titled I Am Grateful: Recipes and Lifestyle of Cafe Gratitude by the restaurant cofounder Terces Engelhart.

I wonder if any of their nut cheeses are fermented like Artisan Vegan Cheese

Not vegetarian, but my fiancé is a raw vegan. So I eat meat every two weeks or so whenever I get over to a wings bar (which is sadly lessened these days now that hockey season is over). She's also gluten-free, btw.

Other than occasional wings, it's mostly uncooked veggies and nuts, often pureed into something stupidly delicious, but not overly satisfying (which just means I'm allowed to eat more!). The vegan dad has some great stuff, and it's generally pretty low on prep time, hence the dad thing. The Kitchn also has some banging stuff.
There's a cookbook called Rawsome that absolutely shines with it's combinations of nuts and veggies that actually make me not starving like an angry weasel, even after a 20 mile bike ride.

Don't just eat cheese and bread! There's so much more awesome shit out there. And my fiancé pretty much cried when I read your post, brother/sister. She's offered to cook for you, if you're anywhere near northern Colorado. Fuck, we'll send you shit or at the very least some good recipes if you'd like to PM me :D

Best of luck!

I eat a combo of vegan/paleo. Why?
Paleo ppl know how to cook their meat in decently low calorie dishes
Vegan - man do they know how to make veggies! You don't really know how to cook veggies until you dig into these recipes.

• 1 Oh She Glows - Food genius! Best I've ever owned!
  

• 2 Against All Grain - Very solid, I love everything including the desserts
  

• 3 Thug Kitchen - Amazing flavor combinations and loved most everything I made, some things were more effort than they were worth. I found myself going to the grocery store a lot when I was cooking through this book. Avoided the desserts because of the use of all purpose flour, sugar etc. The baking seems more traditional.
  

• 4 Everyday Detox - Love the shakes and desserts, the cookie recipes are the best I've made, but the food falls flat. The combos don't knock my socks off.
  

• 5 Paleo Comfort Food - Found a few good things in here but lots of misses. Resorted to writing X's and check marks on the pages of things that were successful and not so successful.
  

  
  

As to methods, you could make a dirt cheap and foldable solar oven out of cardboard and aluminum foil and a plastic bag. I will fold up to flat so no space lost. (There are many other kinds, but it sounds like space is not your friend.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cooker

I also recently got this book of raw food recipes and it looks good. There are several I'm looking forward to trying out.

A "thermal cooker" is basically a vacuum insulated tub, like an oversized thermos, and can keep things cold or hot for many hours. I just got this one and it is just the right size for me. Could help you keep certain things cold for a while if needed (buy now and eat in 10 hours type of deal).

I'm fairly new to Reddit so I just found this post. I hope I'm not too late! I love the book RAWvolution by Matt Amsden. The pictures are beautiful and the recipes are absolutely amazing. I've not yet made something I haven't liked.

I have lots of other uncook books that I can recommend but they don't have any pictures.

Hope that helped!

Okay,

Read this book -> https://www.amazon.com/Sunfood-Diet-Success-System/dp/1556437498

Do a colon cleanse. Seriously.

This should be all you need to be healed.

You can also do the Coue Method which is the following:

Get a piece of string, tie 20 knots in it, each morning and night repeat the affirmation "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better". Repeat the affirmation once for each knot on the string. Even touch each knot as you say the affirmation.

Soon you will have such a beautiful life. Please take these words very seriously. Your future depends on your own self healing.

I ask that you suspend belief and actually do what I am suggesting for 1 month and experience this truth for yourself.
