Synopsis

There is no question that adopting a plant-rich diet is better for us - and for the planet - and given the recent meat and processed food crisis, people are becoming ultra vigilant about their diets and the fresh, wholesome food they want to eat. Skipping meat, even for a few days a week, can make a difference to your health and wellbeing, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice flavour. Today, vegetarian cooking has never been easier or more delicious thanks to the abundance of farmer's markets, the diverse range of fresh produce in our supermarket aisles, and the excellent choices of pastas, grains, pulses and even frozen food staples available to us. Meatless is an inspiring, beautifully illustrated new cookery book for committed vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Here you will find classics as well as soon-to-be favourites including: * Small plates and simple side dishes to mix and match (Fresh Pea Hummus, Baked Polenta Fries) * Stovetop suppers (Spring Vegetable Ragout; Southwestern Hash; Shiitake Fried Rice) * Soups, stews and chilli (Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, Green Vegetable Curry; Marrakesh Stew) * Casseroles and other baked dishes (Herbed Ricotta Souffle, Portobello Gratins) * Substantial salads (Warm Edamame Salad; Roasted Tomato Tabbouleh; New Greek Salad) * Sandwiches, burgers and pizzas (Grilled Asparagus and Ricotta Pizza; Chipotle Avocado Sandwich) * Pasta and other noodles; (Rice Noodles & Broccoli Pesto; Two-bean Pasta Salad, No-bake Lasagna with Ricotta and Tomatoes) With an overview of items that build flavour and add protein, and essential recipes and techniques for vegetable stock, rice, dried beans, polenta, and much more, Meatless is destined to become a go-to favourite for vegetarians and meat-eaters - and a fabulous road map to a healthier lifestyle.

Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts

The perfect sweet (or savoury) for any occasion

Filled with seasonal fruit, piled high with billowy meringue, or topped with buttery streusel, pies and tarts are comforting and foolproof. In Martha Stewart's New Pies and Tarts, the editors of Martha Stewart Living include 150 recipes: some are savoury, some are sweet; some are simple enough for a weeknight, while others are fancy enough for special events. Throughout, readers will find plenty of fillings and crusts, basics, and techniques for creating flavours and textures for every taste - from down-home classics that come together easily with fresh berries and stone fruits to modern tarts layered with chocolate ganache or finished with a wine glaze. There are also individual hand pies, savoury comforts like quiche and pot-pie, holiday-worthy desserts for nearly every occasion, and much more.

Chapters feature pies and tarts for everyone: CLASSIC (Lattice-Top Blueberry Pie, Pumpkin Pie), FREE-FORM (Apricot-Pistachio Tart, Apple Butter Hand Pies), SLEEK (Caramelized Lemon Tart, Chocolate Mousse Tart with Hazelnuts), DREAMY (Frozen Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pie, Butterscotch Praline Cream Pie), RUSTIC (Cheddar-Crust Apple Pie, Blackberry Jam Tart), LAYERED (Rainbow Puff-Pastry Tarts, Chocolate Pear Tart), DAINTY (Roasted Fig Tartlets, Cranberry Meringue Mini Pies), ARTFUL (Peach-Raspberry Slab Pie, Pumpkin and Ricotta Crostata), HOLIDAY (Neapolitan Easter Pie, Gingerbread-Raspberry Snowflake Tart), and SAVOURY (Leek and Olive Tart, Summer Squash Lattice Tart).

As is expected from Martha Stewart, this book is at once a feast for the eyes and the palate, as well as a practical teaching tool. Each dish is accompanied by a lush, full-colour photograph. Throughout the book are
