The Vegetarian Hundred
For the Vegetarian 100, I selected foods, dishes and ingredients that have such a strong and unique flavor or cultural significance that they really stand out in the food world. I included exotic fruits and regional dishes, some of which are incredibly rare outside of their homeland, as well as a few standard vegetarian favorites, and some dishes with a small but dedicated "cult following". What would you add to this list? How many have you had?

Vegetarian Couscous Recipes
If you've never tried couscous before, think of it like little tiny pasta noodles. Like pasta and whole grains, it doesn't taste like much on it's own, but will go great with a variety of sauces, spices and flavorings. One cup of cooked couscous has just 176 calories, zero fat, and also provides 6 grams of protein. Check out these vegetarian couscous recipes.
