For example, in the “Salads and Vegetables” chapter, how does Golden
Thai Curry sound? Or in “Pasta and Noodles”, Pasta Twist, Tomato and
Mozzarella Bake? Some of the recipes in Rose Elliot’s low GI
vegetarian cookbook are so simple, boil the pasta and “swirl” around
the remaining ingredients! Great for those of us on a time schedule!
This vegetarian cookbook really does make it simple, easy and tasty
to follow a low GI vegetarian diet. Other chapters include “Beans
and Lentils”, “Cereals and Grains”, “Natural Protein Foods” and
“Fruit, Sugar and Spice” which of course includes some sweet treats.
Being vegetarian and/or following a low GI diet both have their
benefits. Over the years research has shown that being a vegetarian
is not only healthy but provides your body with more energy and can
be good for your weight. Foods with a lower GI value slowly release
energy, banishing food cravings and helping you to keep control of
your eating habits. Following a low GI vegetarian diet could even
equal a weight loss of 2lbs a week.
In Rose Elliot’s Low-GI Vegetarian Cookbook you’ll find much more
than just recipes. Rose introduces the book with some useful
information on the glycaemic index and a comprehensive breakdown of
protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and essential fats – all
of which a low GI vegetarian or vegan diet can supply. The GI Food
Table shows the low, medium and high GI ratings for plenty of common
vegetarian and vegan foods for easy reference and the “Get Slim and
Stay Slim” chapter provides straight-talking information on how to
follow the plan and make it work for you! For those who are
pregnant, there is a whole section dedicated to “Eating for Two” and
how to adapt low GI for babies and children.
Interspersed with the recipes are meal plans, sauces, dressings,
breakfast recipes and even 30 minute dinner parties! Also included
in the vegetarian cookbook is lots of handy information about
specific foods, cooking techniques and where to buy the more exotic
ingredients.
