Introduction

Whether you are completely vegetarian or just enjoy the imaginative approach of modern vegetarian recipes, you’ll find what you are looking for in this collection of straightforward, tasty and health-conscious recipes.

This book aims to show how a vast range of vegetarian dishes can be prepared from readily available ingredients. The recipes are a world away from the monotony of the restricted choice of the past: they are colourful and nutritious and bursting with flavour. Moreover, they take into consideration that the vegetarian cook has a life outside the kitchen and hence most of them do not take too long to prepare.

Many incorporate convenience and storecupboard commodities. However, this is never to the detriment of the final nutritional value, flavour and appearance of the dish, as these ingredients are creatively combined with a host of fresh ingredients.

Real Food for Vegetarians is a realistic approach to vegetarian cooking for the enthusiastic cook and food-lover. It is not a cordon bleu recipe book using delicatessen specialities, but when you see and taste some of the end results, you might be tempted to think it was!
