Synopsis

There has never been a better time to enjoy vegetarian food. Meat-free eating has well and truly outgrown its worthy-yet-dull image, and vegetarian cuisine is now widely regarded as exciting, appetizing and innovative. Due to the ever-growing interest in healthier eating, as well as ethical concerns over animal products, more and more people are discovering that there is life after meat, after all. In shops, supermarkets and market stalls, the choice of fruit and vegetables from around the globe has never been so impressive. Fresh produce cooked with loving care is the foundation for appetizing vegetarian fare. Supplementary store cupboard staples, such as high-quality beans and pulses, dried fruits and canned goods also help you discover the other joy of vegetarian cooking - its simplicity. This book gathers together 200 of the best vegetarian dishes from around the world, all with fabulous tastes and textures. The recipes celebrate the diversity of choice in the vegetarian diet and are divided into seven sections: Soups, Starters, Salads, Side Dishes, Light Lunches, Suppers and Special Occasions. Whether you are hankering for the good old-fashioned comfort of a warming soup, such as Wild Mushroom or Classic French Onion, or wish to explore the further shores of exotic world cuisines in dishes such as Rice Noodles with Chile Vegetable Sauce or Vegetable Fajitas, this book takes you through every stage. The recipes are illustrated with step-by-step photographs as well as a picture of the finished dish, so it's easy to achieve the perfect results every time. Whether you want to expand your existing repertoire of vegetarian recipes or embark on a healthier lifestyle, this invaluable cookbook is delicious proof that eating the vegetarian way is not only nutritious, but an exciting and enticing experience too. Over 200 recipes, illustrated step-by-step - each dish beautifully photographed to guarantee perfect results every time Seven easy-to-use sections range from satisfying savoury snacks to mouthwatering meals: Soups, Starters, Salads, Side Dishes, Light Lunches, Suppers and Special Occasions Includes well-loved vegetarian favourites, such as Vegetable Moussaka, Wholewheat Pasta Salad and Baked Vegetable Lasagne, as well as meat-free classics from the world's cuisines, including Buckwheat Blinis with Mushroom Caviar, Grilled Vegetable Terrine and Gado Gado A comprehensive introduction with suggestions for stocking the pantry and advice on buying and storing vegetarian dry goods and fresh produce Includes over 800 colour photographs showing ingredients, techniques and finished recipes
