Featuring 200 vegetarian recipes, this volume seeks to enable the reader to rustle up delicious meals in minutes. There are ideas for quick mid-week meals using fresh or store-cupboard ingredients, as well as a choice of dinner-party dishes. There are also recipes to suit all tastes with meals that explore world-wide vegetarian culinary traditions, from delicate Spanish Chilled Almond Soup to the spicier flavours of Mexican Vegetable Fajitas. At the beginning of the book is a comprehensive guide to the enormous range of ingredients available to those who prefer not to eat meat or fish, including everyday items such as dairy produce, pasta, rice, beans and fresh vegetables, as well as new or unusual foods.
