In the cases where a person's vegetarian status is disputed or they no longer adhere to a vegetarian diet, this is noted next to their entry as disputed or former. Even though the vegetarian diet encompasses veganism.<br /><br />I know what it feels like to be hurt,and I don't want to cause that pain to any other person or creature. But somehow, in society, we numb ourselves in order to make money or to feel better about ourselves, such as with cosmetics or food. We say to ourselves, I'm going to use this animal. I'm going to say it doesn't have much worth so that I can allow myself to do these cruel things. And that just isn't fair.<br />-Alicia Silverstone<br /><br /><br />As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding.

Spanning coastal deserts, lush rainforests, and high altitude mountain chains, Peru's food culture is shaped as much by its landscape as it is by the huge variety of cultures and nationalities that have called Peru home over the last millenia. Indigenous Incan recipes blend seamlessly with the flavors of the colonial powers - Italy, Portugal, and most importantly, Spain. Add to this the overwhelming Asian influence brought by immigrants from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, and you have one of the most dynamic food scenes anywhere in the world.<br /><br />Vegetarianism is not huge in Peru - the coastal areas are inundated with every type of seafood imaginable, while the Andean plateau subsists mostly on a diet of meat (cuy, or guinea pig, and alpaca are among the favorites) and potatoes. Potatoes play a huge part in Peruvian recipes, finding their way onto almost every plate. Peru is the ancestral home of the potato and produces over 1,000 different varieties of the starchy tuber. Similar vegetables, such as yucca and sweet potato, also are quite common in Peruvian cuisine, along with a wide variety of corn, root vegetables, and grains, such as quinoa.<br /><br />While most Peruvian recipes are not vegetarian by nature, we have attempted to make vegetarian Peru's most popular meat-based recipes, while providing a thorough exposition of the best veggie dishes Peru has to offer. The flavors used in Peruvian food are still ever present, combining traditional Latin American flavors such as lime, cilantro, garlic, and cumin with the flavors of Italy and Asia. A perfect example is one of Peru's favorite meals, Lomo Saltado, which is flavored with soy sauce, lime, pisco (a local grape liquor), balsamic vinegar, and Peru's most ubiquitous ingredient,aji amarillo, a chili paste made from an indigenous variety of spicy yellow pepperVegetarian Chefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11501459089000184824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402101546395970602.post-40487801825867264232010-07-12T15:22:00.000-07:002010-07-12T15:25:47.115-07:00Papa a la Huancaina<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmrEJHfE5IWMLmIMV76BcXZb9oHxRISkUuKcG_zMxudjioiSyUIOCNZAthxknt2-3BNBYWa-62SbutguQA3R93nIXkasW8992T8RhxHBXotNp1OciloRorInZWgjtr4_FEV3J3IHvVDqQ/s1600/papa_a_la_huancaina.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 201px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmrEJHfE5IWMLmIMV76BcXZb9oHxRISkUuKcG_zMxudjioiSyUIOCNZAthxknt2-3BNBYWa-62SbutguQA3R93nIXkasW8992T8RhxHBXotNp1OciloRorInZWgjtr4_FEV3J3IHvVDqQ/s320/papa_a_la_huancaina.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493149482226939330" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Papa a la Huancaina</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients:</span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:100%;">8 Potato’s (Boiled) </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">0.60 lb Queso Fresco (white cheese) </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">5 to 7 Soda Crackers</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">1 can evaporate milk </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">3 Aji Amarillo (yellow pepper or paste)</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">2 Teaspoon of oil (olive oil)</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">1 clove garlic</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">1 piece of Onion</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">½ lime or less</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">Sal and pepper tt</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">Black olive</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">Lettuce leaves about 12</span></p> <p> </p> <p><b><span style="font-size:130%;">Directions:</span></b></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">1. - Add the onion, garlic, Aji Amarillo (Yellow pepper), black pepper and stir-fry for 2 to 4 minutes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">2. - Place all the first preparation the cheese, evaporated milk, in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
