it. Then, I went abroad on
holiday one year and when I
-- came back I decidedto give up meat for good. I'm more
interestedin lood and cooking now than I usedto be. My
husband and I love food and we spend hours experimenting
with different recipes- there'sso much you can do with
vegetarianfood. Our favouritefoods are mainly Italian
and Indian. We probablyeat too much lat in our diet and
are aware that we need to cut down. We're not that keen on
brown rice and lentils.I also hate things that try to imitate
meat. I study labels carefully but we don't worry too much
when we eat out.'
