In order for vegetarian cookbooks to be great I believe they need to have seven very important ingredients...
1. Large colorful photos of the finished recipes - I don't know about you but one of my favorite past times is laying around on the sofa or a deck chair and flicking through vegetarian cookbooks and magazines looking at photos and getting inspired to cook one that looks great.
2. Measurements in cups and spoons as opposed to weights - nothing frustrates me more than going to cook a recipe and having to weigh 10g of this and 100g of that. I find it so much easier when recipes say 1 cup of flour or 1/2 cup of Tahini or a handful of broccoli.
3. Small ingredients lists - I love cooking and I do enjoy cooking elaborate recipes but most of the time I want recipes that can be cooked with the least amount of time and fuss. I love vegetarian cookbooks that have recipes with ingredient lists of no more than 10 ingredients, preferably with just 6, and quick and easy steps in the cookery method.
4. Breakfast, lunch/dinner and sweets - I'm not into entree, starters, mains and desert type vegetarian cookbooks. I'm about being practical, we eat breakfast lunch and dinner every day and most of us have a sweet tooth so I like vegetarian cookbooks that have a table of contents categorized into breakfast, lunch/dinner (most vegetarian meals can be either lunch or dinner) and sweets.
5. I also like reading short notes about where the author found the inspiration for the dish. I think it personalizes the cookbook and makes a very interesting read.
6. A good index - Recipes need to be listed by more than just the name of the dish. French Fries need to be listed under "F" for French Fries as well as "P" for potatoes. By listing recipes under their name and the main vegetable makes it easy to search for something to make with the fresh seasonal produce you just picked from the garden or purchased from the local farmers market. It also helps at the end of the week when you are wondering how to use up the left over vegetables in the fridge.
7. I also like vegetarian cookbooks that are categorized into seasons. After all, that is the way nature intended us to eat. Fresh seasonal produce is the healthiest and most environmental way to eat.

Cheese Suppliers - Supplying the Gift of Health and Nutrition
Cheese can just jazz up anything to taste better - from sandwiches and hamburgers to pasta and salads - and even desserts!
Generally, the cheese available and consumed in Australia is made from the pasteurised milk of cows, sheep or goats. It is one of the most delicious and nutritious food with lots of protein, calcium and a range of vitamins and minerals. In spite of being a solid nutrient package, cheese is habitually shunned because of its fat content. These days, cheese suppliers are supplying some cheeses which are prepared from milk that include less fat and are marked as 'reduced fat' cheese. In Australia, this label indicates that the cheese contains 75 per cent (or less) of the amount of fat in the regular cheese of the same variety. Cheese suppliers have symbolized them by being milder in flavour. One serving of cheese (40 grams) is a fine way to accomplish one of the 2 to 3 daily serves of dairy advised for most people by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council.
Many people seem to have a love-hate relationship with cheese, especially when they are trying to simply eat a healthier diet. Fortunately, cheese has a surprising number of health benefits and it's nice to know that eating this great ingredient can actually be good for you.
Say Cheese as:
- It has high concentration of essential nutrients including proteins and calcium, phosphorous, zinc, vitamin A, riboflavin, and vitamin B12.
- It is great for your teeth and even better for the bones. It's richness in calcium helps to keep your teeth and bones strong and guard against osteoporosis. Also, the high-quality protein in cheese provides your body with necessary building blocks for strong muscles.
- It contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid that helps prevent cancer. Also, it may particularly help to avert colon cancer due to its high calcium content.
- It is good for people who suffer from migraine headaches. Cheese, as a terrific source of that calcium helps to reduce the migraine.
- It boosts your immunity. Eating certain kinds of cheese has actually proved to have a positive effect on the immune system.
- It is a high-fat food and thus a leading product for people who need to gain weight.
Cheese manufacturing has become a booming industry in Australia and there are lots of cheese suppliers in the market. Various varieties of cheese -American, Cheddar, mozzarella and Colby-are provided by the cheese suppliers in different flavours, forms (chunks, slices, different sized cubes, grated, crumbled, sticks, spreads) and packaging to meet consumers' needs.
