Tofu is another staple in the vegetarian kitchen. This is a wonderful convenience food and very versatile. Tofu comes in different textures from soft to extra-firm. Tofu can be used in stir fries, baked, made into patties, as a sandwich filling, in desserts including puddings and cakes as well as mayonnaise and creams.
Whole grains including wild and brown rice, millet and pastas are another staple in the vegetarian kitchen. If you want to try something different go for bulgur, couscous and other grains that you might not normally try. There are lots of excellent recipes using rice and pastas so plan on having a variety of these items available.
