Inspired Vegetarian

Additional Details

Description: Inspired by her love of fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs, and aiming to take a step beyond standard vegetarian cookbooks, British cook and food stylist Louise Pickford has produced a collection of exciting vegetarian recipes for the passionate cook who wants to incorporate more meatless dishes into his or her repertory. Illustrated with 35 stunning photographs by Gus Filgate, this stylish book will also tempt the reluctant vegetarian who until now has been convinced that vegetarian fare meant veggie burgers, sprouts, tofu salad, and lentil stew. 

Drawing from the cuisines of France and Italy, Pickford has created innovative meatless alternatives to some classic dishes, such as Red Onion Soup with Goat Cheese Toasts and Vegetarian Cassoulet. The author's childhood on an English farm has inspired such recipes as Greenhill Pea and Leek Soup and Celeriac and Stilton Mousse. Recipes for such dishes as Spiced Vegetable Pakoras with Mango Relish and Stir-fried Sesame Cabbage with Ginger bring the flavors of the eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the Far East into play. 

The 80 recipes are divided into courses (appetizers, soups, main courses, vegetable accompaniments, salads, breads, and desserts) so that complete vegetarian menus can be created. 

The book's inviting presentation will inspire the reader to make the most of seasonal produce and overlooked fruits and vegetables and will entice even the most skeptical cooks to incorporate meatless dishes into their diets.
