I am reading John McDougall's books again. They might be obtainable at your library. I know Amazon sells them cheap. They could give you some ideas. I am just trying to get into it all and making a grocery list now. They use a lot of potatoes, brown rice, and sweet potatoes. You can find something you like. My problem is I cook for just one. I am going to make a veggie soup. I found out that clove in a small amount will spice things up. So will cumin. And there is cayenne.
