JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Veggin’ on the Web

There are seemingly millions of places on the Internet dealing with vegetarianism and veganism. I’ve already mentioned my favorite irreverant vegan blog, which I visit regularly, but here are a few others in my Favorites list:

*For more links than you could ever possibly click, visit the vegetarian social-network Web site VegBang. Users post news stories and other things they’ve found on the Internet relating to vegetarianism and veganism. Links to articles take you all over the Web. You could certainly spend a vast amount of time surfing around here!

*PETA’s VegCooking Web site offers a wealth of information, including recipes, product information, and a list of vegetarian and vegan options at restaurant chains.

*Looking for vegetarian-friendly places to eat in your area—or when you’re traveling? Check out Happy Cow for reviews and information about restaurants all over the world.

*Famed vegan cook and author Isa Moskowitz’s site, The Post Punk Kitchen, features a blog, very active forums and lots of recipes.

*England’s BBC has a nice, attractive vegetarian site. The only drawback is that the recipes are in British measurements.

*Though it’s not a vegetarian site, when I’m looking for a recipe I generally start with AllRecipes.com. It has more than 40,000 recipes in all sorts of categories, including such ones as holidays and U.S. regional favorites, plus ratings of and user feedback on the recipes.

I’m really interested in hearing from readers and expanding my Internet horizons—what are some of your favorite vegetarian spots on the Web? I know I’m probably missing out on some great ones.

The vegetarian resource group is a pretty good site online. It’s at www.vrg.org. And I always love Vegetarian Times! (www.vegetariantimes.com)
