Thank you for all the above posts...they are really useful, I sympathise with Pondwaver as sometimes cooking just seems too much of an effort to me too...that's when I tend to binge on the nasty hi carb foods like crisps or alcohol!!
I will be looking around my health food stores more than ever in the future and am looking forward to having a more varied veggie diet from now on..

Good luck to everyone,
