Yes, joy is characteristic of those who follow a vegetarian diet--provided you use recipes such as those suggested by Dr. Philip Chen in the last three chapters of this book. For many years Dr. Chen, an eminent biochemist, has contributed to chemical and other scientific journals and has written ten books related to nutrition. His thesis hold that health and the joy of eating good food go together. Hence the title, "The Joy of Being a Vegetarian."
