Legumes is dedicated to recipes that highlight flavorful vegetarian meals that can be modified to fit the tight budget of a frugal lifestyle. If you’re on the go and need something quick or are feeding a whole host of people at once you’ll be able to cook these meals by following the simple directions. For convenience and easy planning there is a basic review of ingredients and cooking time before each meal. There are also some optional ingredients that are marked as such. They can enhance the flavor and texture of your meal but could be left out or substituted depending on taste, allergies, budget, or time. All of our recipes are made by our team and photographed for display here. Our team is comprised of several college students at Boston University who have dedicated their time and energy to healthy living choices. Not all of our contributors are vegetarians but we all see the value of treating and feeding our bodies properly. We hope you enjoy these vegetarian dishes as much as we do and have fun cooking them too!

Alix
Alix is in her Senior year at Boston University. She is originally from Albany, NY which she considers to be a vast cultural wasteland. A French and International Relations double major, Alix spends a lot of time watching French films and reading literature on African development. Alix will be studying in Niger in the Fall and will be spending Christmas in France. She also hopes to travel to India, Thailand, and Japan someday. Alix enjoys her two cats, pastry decorating, interior design, and sushi. She has been a vegetarian for over two years. Her mother loves to remind her that she has disliked the texture of meat since she was five years old but needed to learn the value of nutrition before becoming a vegetarian. Alix makes one concession a year to eat Thanksgiving turkey because her mother slaves in the kitchen for hours over a hot stove to feed everyone else.
Will
Will is a Senior double majoring in Religion and International Relations at Boston University. He enjoys Murakami novels, writing, teaching tennis, and playing mean tunes on the harmonica. Will has been a vegetarian for three years. He decided to become veggie after working on a Hungarian farm in Kozard, Hungary. He tells of a breakfast consisting of Hungarian bacon (pure pig fat), ground liver, and mongalista sausage (a Hungarian, hairy, pig) that pushed him over the edge. Will traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia after his graduation from High School. If you ever get the chance, he highly suggests that you visit Yakushima, Japan. The picture on the left was taken on Mount Fuji. He currently spends the majority of his time playing Modnation Racer under the PSN gotoKozard.
Courtney
Courtney is a Senior at Boston University. She is a student of the school of communications and is concentrating her major in religious studies. Courtney was born in Chicago, spent her childhood in Albany, NY and lived her teens in Seattle. She therefore can claim ownership to both coasts and the mid west as the stopping ground of her youth. Courtney enjoys meditation at Back Bay Yoga, 90’s music, crafting blogs, and all things Twilight. She will be exercising her humor-writing skills in London this Fall. She has been a vegetarian a couple of times, but has since fallen off the wagon.
