    It would be wonderful to find a *truly* vegetarian menu for a month–one that didn’t include fake meat.

    Jude–I imagine everyone has their own definitions for vegetarian. But all of these “fake meats” are homemade, whole foods versions using ingredients like lentils and brown rice. Calling it mock beef doesn’t make it non-vegetarian to me. Like most recipes, you can adapt them to suit your own needs. Leaving the “meat” out could work for most. Thanks for your comment.

    This is amazing. The work that went into this is just great. I am so happy to see a vegetarian and VEGAN set up like this. I will be trying this out soon. Thank you!
