One of the biggest problems with people who are converting to
vegetarianism is not knowing how to cook the food. Eating no meat
requires a different cultural attitude to cooking. One way to
find this " different attitude" is to look for recipies in other
cultures that don't use a lot of meat ( Indian, Chinese, Japanese
etc).

	Another part of the problem is spicing. Potatos, rice,
beans can be very exciting to eat.(especially with cayanne pepper
and curry). I don't know how to transmitt my knowledge of spices
to you other than to show you. I will post at a later date some
of my recipies ( mostly to get me to write them down)

	In those other cultures that I mentioned, there are products
that make cooking more interesting. Things like: Tempeh, tofu,
Nori, tamari, and many more that I haven't found yet.

	As with any other habit  it is hard to change your diet.
I have found from personal experience that not eating meat can be
an exciting and enjoyable ( even preferable ) experience.
