These recipes are so inspiring! I can’t wait to see all the exciting pairings and combinations in the upcoming cookbook. I appreciate the many ways you suggest to cut back on meat and still thoroughly enjoy the variety of veggies, grains, etc available. I can’t wait to try the polenta dish, yum!

Yummy, these recipes look good! It’s great to see a vegetarian-related post here! I’ll definately have to check out that cookbook.

Great ideas and I especially like your recipe for Eggplant and Polenta. So often recipes with eggplant use too much oil, but not yours. I look forward to the publication of your cookbook, Louisa.

I am so happy I came across your article. I have had tempeh in my frig for a couple of weeks and didn’t know how I was going to prepare it. I usually make bean tacos when I want to make a Mexican veggie dish. Thanks for introducing me to a new option!

This is great as truthfully, we are supposed to eat mostly vegetables with meat as a side dish, not the other way around.

Louisa - I have been enjoying your new blog so much! It’s full of so much information and answers about today’s food issues that I often hear about, but never have time to research. Your recipes also sound great and I look forward to trying them soon! Thank you!

Ooh- although I do not think of myself as much of a tempeh person, I cannot wait to try the stuffed poblano. What a great idea! And the charred eggplants look fabulous too– your cookbook looks divine… thanks so much for sharing. And thanks too, for giving other examples of ways to cut down meat. I think we have looked at the vegetarian/carnivore argument in too narrow a way for too long; there is definitely a middle ground that can be satisfying for your palate and for our environment.

Eggplant and Polenta in the same dish!!! Wow, two of my favorite tastes together. I tried it and it is really delicious. More recipes please.

as an italian, i can say that that’s a pretty original take on both polenta AND on eggplant parm. i never would have thought to pair them like that, but it works really well and looks beautiful on the plate. thank you (are you italian?). in italy, there never has been a problem eating mostly veggies and pasta, with meat as a more occasional treat. that’s the way my ancestors ate for centuries. It makes good health sense, and as long as you’ve got plenty of EVOO, good taste, too!

I just tried this recipe and its REALLY GOOD. Any other meatless suggestions that address the carnivore urge?
It does my soul good to eliminate meat from my diet, but I do crave it after a couple of days.

thanks!
