Easy Vegetarian: Simple recipes for brunch, lunch and dinner

by Ryland Peters & Small (Compiler)

Whether you are a dedicated vegetarian or just love your greens, Easy Vegetarian offers lots of inspiration for deliciously fresh food – from a quick, tasty snack to a more glamorous evening meal. For a relaxed weekend Brunch ditch the bacon and try French Toast and Fried Tomatoes or Blackberry Buttermilk Pancakes. Scrumptious Starters and Snacks include Pesto-stuffed Portobello Mushrooms and Toasted Turkish Bread. A host of simple Soups will have you reaching for the blender, while the Cheese and Eggs chapter offers fabulous fondue ideas and delicious egg dishes. All types of salads appear in Salads and Sides as well as accompaniments like Herby Potato Rösti and Carrot and Spinach Butter Mash. Pizzas, Savoury Tarts and Breads, such as Charred Vegetable Polenta Pizza, are ideal for lunches or casual dinners. When you don’t have much time, try some quick Pasta and Noodles, such as Simple Spaghetti with Capers and Olives. For ultimate comfort food make a risotto from the Rice chapter, or a dish from Beans, Lentils and Chickpeas such as Curried Lentils and Spinach. For the height of simplicity, try a One-dish Meal, such as Vegetable Goulash or Chickpea and Vegetable Curry. Round off a meal with a perfect Dessert, such as a Honey and Almond Panna Cotta, or a warm Chocolate and Coffee Pudding. There is also a handy Basics Chapter, with recipes to make your own pizza dough, pesto and vegetable stock. Easy Vegetarian will delight you with its deliciously simple recipes that are full of flavour.

Charity shop purchase ( and I now know why!)

Pretty basic with little in-depth information. Most of the recipes were the sort of thing any decent cook knows with only a few suitable for 'main meals'.

Disappointing.

there is a picture with every recipe which I really like. Most of the recipes look easy to prepare but lots are high in fat.
No calorie or nutritional information for any of the recipes
