Why does (my) vegetarian cooking always produce bland meals?

[Stuart]

My roasted tomato pasta that I made last night was anything but bland. Perhaps it was the third of a jar of capers that I poured in and the two red chillies that did it.

You can't go wrong with pesto. Pesto or garlic!

[LMC]

Garlic's not too advisable if you're dancing the same day though (apparently parsley or strawberries are good for neutralisation)

Fresh herbs if you can get them are so much nicer than dried - most can be grown in pots

Lucky I drink herbal tea so don't have to be concerned about milk (:worried: - do herbal teas count as "vegetable"? If they do, it's no wonder I feel a bit queasy after drinking a mint tea with my Kentucky Fried Chicken)

Talking of herbal tea - boiling a herbal teabag or two in your soup works just as well as adding herbs and you get no green bits

I read the words but it makes no coherent picture for me.

Sure you aren't smokin' those herbs lady?

TTD?

I forgot to say one more very important thing. Yeast are very unhealthy. They ruin gut organisms. I am serious!
