VEGETARIAN CUISINE

Vegetarian cuisine refers to food that meets vegetarian standards by not including meat and animal tissue products. For lacto-ovo vegetarianism (the most common type of vegetarianism in the Western world), eggs and dairy products such as milk and cheese are permitted. 

VEGETARIAN FOODS CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES:

Traditional foods that have always been vegetarian include cereals, grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts

Soy products including tofu and tempeh which are common protein sources

Textured vegetable protein (TVP), made from defatted soy flour, often included in chili and burger recipes in place of ground meat

Meat analogues, which mimic the taste, texture, and appearance of meat and are often used in recipes that traditionally contained meat. Vegans may also use analogues for eggs and dairy products

It was pointed out that there was an extremely rich vegetarian tradition in many Indian, Asian and African cooking and that eating vegetarian dishes was in line with a more sustainable lifestyle and was recommended as part of a healthy diet.
