i'm making baklazhani (eggplant). YUM.

it's a dish one loves best when one is vegetarian and has been in moscow for a few days and is quite hungry.

eggplant, onion, tomato, pickle, apple... cooked down for a couple hours and then seasoned with salt, pepper, and wine vinegar. if anyone wants the recipe, i'll post it.

well, i pretty much look for recipes from cuisines which don't use soy much. since i'm vegetarian, it can sometimes be a challenge, but i manage.

i can usually find safe mediterranean food (especially lebanese, but greek is also nice), russian food can be yummy, indian, italian...

for recipes, i like alt.food.vegan and rec.food.vegetarian-cooking (i think that's it) on usenet. sure they use a lot of soy, but i can substitute or just ignore those recipes.

http://www.fatfree.com has lots of interesting dishes and meals.

i have tons of cookbooks and magazines. i just look for stuff that sounds good and looks safe. :)

i avoid a lot of sub-saharan african cuisines (though ethiopian is often safe) because of peanuts. no, they're not ubiquitous, but they show up quite often in restaurants in my region. i also avoid thai for this reason. some thai places are safe, but others use lots of peanuts, fish sauce, etc. and soy, of course, is quite prevalent in thai food.
