Being vegetarian is not prerequisite to practising yoga, but many yoga practitioners turn to this diet for different reasons. Being veg or vegan is also a growing trend among anyone interested in healthy lifestyle.
But I've always been interested in the old-school vegetarians who lived 50 or even hundreds years ago and I am on a mission to discover their long-forgotten recipes. This makes sense to me because those cooks used only local plants and ingredients which I believe is even more important than not eating meat. Occasionally, I'll have fish that has been fished in a local river or eggs from free range chicken. And I have no guilt about that.
However, here I will only post veg recipes, with the allowance for eggs which seem to be treated as "veg" by the father of vegetarianism. Rather than avocados or quinoa, in the recipes of the classical European veg chefs we will use walnuts, buckwheat and other local specialities.
Be faithful in their wisdom. I know you have heard you should eat olive or coconut oils for too long. Those recipes are based on butter and oils native Central Europe, such as rapeseed, sunflower or flax oil. Also, some of them may seem too heavy for your habits. But certain plants contain ingredients that either need to be neutralised by fat, diary or even eggs, or that need to be dissolved in fat so that our body can absorb them. Modern research on this is still lacking, so for now we need to trust the folk wisdom.
Spring has set in! It's time to taste some weed!
