As an >>ovo-lacto-optional vegetarian, I am concerned with locating suitable >>restaurants, learning the apropriate phrases, taboos, and such. Lately I've run across a couple of references to a subgenre of Chinese food that is vegetarian. It has some religious connection (Buddhist?), and is heavily into making things that aren't meat or fish look like meat or fish. There's something about it in one of the restaurant columns in the lastest issue of Gourmet. So I would guess there must be restaurants in China that specialize in this. Does anyone know of a cookbook pertaining to this? Karen
