Eat'in well in the Northwest

E: The Environmental Magazine, March-April, 2005 by Chris Brown

With Veg Out Vegetarian Guide to Seattle & Portland (Gibbs Smith Publishing, $12.95), eating healthy is not only convenient but is entirely hassle-free. In this newest addition to the Veg Out Vegetarian Guide series, George Stevenson and Andrew Evans, a travel writer and a chef, respectively, have gone through painstaking effort to create an easy-to-understand, no-hassle manual on eating healthy in two of the nation's biggest alternative-eating markets.

With brief, to the-point descriptions of Portland and Seattle-area restaurants that cater to the vegetarian traveler, the manual details such pertinent information as prices, type of atmosphere and hours of operation. To make finding that special eatery easier, handy maps of the Seattle and Portland metropolitan areas are included with numbers marking the restaurants. Who knew eating healthy could be this much fun?
