Diet alos suitable for vegetarians

ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News

Professor Canan Karatay says her diet, including a great many healthful recipes, is also suitable for vegetarians, partly because her menus rely on Turkish and Mediterranean cuisines, which employ a great deal of olive oil vegetable stews.

“When you exclude meat, fish and chicken from the menus that I suggest, my diet automatically becomes suitable for vegetarians,” she says, listing suitable dishes for them.

1.Oven-baked olive oil aubergine
2.All olive oil vegetable dishes in Turkish cuisine
3.Egg recipes in the book
4.Whole-wheat and bulgur dishes in the book
5.The Karatay breakfast, which includes 10 to 15 olives and any kind of cheese no bigger than one’s palm
6.Legume dishes
7.Plenty of dried nuts
8.Raisins and dried figs
9.One portion of fruit in the morning. Fruit should be chosen according to the season.
