Vegan Dishes

Wednesday, March 26th, 2003

To Whom It May Concern:

I am looking for Vegan Dishes that do not contain mushrooms, all forms of sugar
(including sugar frees), vinegar, and fruits, except for lemon which I can use.
I am not a terrific cook and I am getting tried of creating my own dishes and
when I do use a vegan recipe and do substituting it never works out right. I am
a terrible cook. Also want to know where I can get prepackaged foods that I can
cook in the microwave that meet my dietary needs. Please help!
