| Introduction | I've been writing about food for 30 years, through four cookbooks, a decade of running a specialty catering business, and hundreds of newpaper and magazine columns (food, travel and general interest). My first cookbook, 'Vegetarian Adventure' (co-authored with friend and restauranteur Sue Carruthers from Rarotonga) was published over twenty years ago, when even the word 'vegetarian' provoked reactions varying from amusement to horror - as opposed to the popularity and acceptance it enjoys today. My 'food philosophy' is that the quality of the food we eat is our best health insurance; that loving what we eat is fundamental to a balanced life; and that learning to cook well is intensely satisfying on a host of complex levels. Eating vegetarian makes sense in terms of good health and sharing the world's resources, as well as promoting a love of great tasting food. |
