Up to the EServer! The Recipes Folder Welcome to the World-Wide Web version of the EServer's recipe folder. Drop me a line if you have any brilliant (or even marginal) ideas for this folder. Or mail me recipes, especially good vegetarian ones. It's been a loooooong time since I properly updated this page. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa . What can I say? I'm a grad student. Grad students get overwhelmed by a goodly number of things, including occasional despair. But now (May 4, 1997) I have finally begun to update this page. This is not to say it's flawless, but hey, it's better. Note: People sometimes write to say they don't like the editorial comments upon the eating of meat. Well, I decided that either I would take those recipes offand being a former meat-eater myself, I was loath to do thator add some sort of commentary, and the section headings are indeed that kind of commentary. Meat, at least in the quantities consumed by Americans, is ecologically terribly expensive and really not terribly good for you, and so far as the ethical dimension goes, I'll say no more here than that I think there's a reason why the term "dead animals" grosses people out more than the term "dead plants." If you're interested more in the various arguments for, if not becoming a vegetarian, at least eating less meat, check out the section below titled, "Info on Matters of Vegetarian Interest." If you're not familiar with the American/British style of cooking measurements, I've now included a list of conversions in

20. Tasty Vegetarian Recipes From Egypt -- The Vegetarian Resource Group Vegetarian nutrition information, recipes, books, and publishers of Vegetarian Journal. Tasty vegetarian recipes from Egypt. by Marie Henein. Introduction. http://www.vrg.org/recipes/egypt.htm

VRG Home About VRG Vegetarian Journal Books ... Links Tasty Vegetarian Recipes from Egypt by Marie Henein Introduction Being raised in an Egyptian family, I soon found out that food was of tremendous importance in our culture. Social and family gatherings were centered around large amounts and various types of food. I found the dishes my mother and grandmothers would prepare quite flavorful and grew up always adding lots of spices to whatever I ate. Spices common to Egyptian foods include cumin, garlic, onion, and allspice, and the list goes on and on. My family is Christian Coptic Orthodox to be exact. This was one of the earliest forms of Christianity and was the religion of the country until the Arab invasions. Many of the following recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. The Coptic church believes in partial fasting almost 200 days of every year. During about 60 of those days, the members eat a completely vegan diet. The remaining days they are permitted to eat fish, but no other animals or animal products. The reasons behind the fasting vary by interpretation. They look to stories in the Bible for the reasoning behind the fasts. According to the Coptic interpretation of the Bible, when God first created the world, he gave humans only vegetables as food. It was only later, when people multiplied and became sinful, that God permitted them to eat animals, only because it was in accordance with their sinful behavior. Therefore, the Copts believe humans survived for a great length of time without eating animals. In an effort to purify themselves and to make a sacrifice to God, they give up the eating of animals during these 60 days. The Copts consider the vegan food they eat during fasts to be a sacrifice because they consider such food less appetizing and less nutritious.
