In 2007, the desire of many people to eat less meat is reflected in brisk sales of vegetarian items in markets. According to one survey, grocery store sales of vegetarian foods grew almost threefold, from $650 million in 1998 to $1.6 billion in 2003. Plant foods provide beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, phytonutrients, fiber and minerals-all important in preventing disease. This food demonstration shows how herbs contribute in two very important ways to vegetarian meals: first by adding phytonutrients, and second, by keeping taste buds happy. Learn how to increase the nutritional value and taste of both prepared and 'scratch' foods by using fresh herbs in vegetarian recipes.

Pat Crocker wants to remind you of your innate knowledge of the Wisdom of Nature. Slip through the green arbor and let her take you back to the concepts behind Eden, Paradise, GAIA and Plant Healing.
