Vegetarian Burger Recipes

 








There is no comparison in flavour with a homemade burger.  Fast food restaurants add far to much salt, fat and sugar to burgers, even to vegetarian burgers.

We can still enjoy a burger without worrying about calories.  Of course all in moderation but the great thing about cooking at home is that you know for sure what ingredients go in your food.

Processed burgers have emulsifiers and E numbers added to the burger which add no nutritional value to your diet.  These are used to help "stretch" the bulk food, extend its shelf life and add extra flavour to food.

I used to live near a chemical factory called Universal Flavours.  Even though my house was 3 miles away, you could smell various ingredients depending on which direction the wind used to blow.

The strawberry smell was not so bad. Sadly, to make this flavour, not real strawberries were added. Chemicals were fused in order to replicate this flavour.  So remember, just because the label may say "strawberry" flavour it does not always means that the actual ingredient is added.
