A return to vegetarian Jewish cuisine

2. I can't do vegan at all

Tried it and found that a veg-grain-soy diet upset my innards considerably. I gave it a good try, too. Finally discovered that I'm soy-intolerant and that too much gluten also does me in. I tried adjusting for that and it just didn't work for me. That said, we go vegetarian for 6 weeks every year, plus fast days, because I'm Orthodox. I find that it does make me more conscious of what I eat and that we do eat way less meat and are conscious of where we get it and how it's raised. Much better all around. I do wish this article had included links to some cookbooks, but that's not the BBC way. As for fermented veggies, there's always kraut, pickled beets, and kimchi. Our local food co-op sells something called "white kimchi" which is amazing stuff. I eat it on hot dogs. Try it on a veggie dog! The brand is Sunja.
