Meatless Munchies
Category: Fact/Cookery
144 pages, Paperback
ISBN: 000719319X
Publisher: Collins
Inspired/Suggested by: I am eating less meat, and very much enjoying it.
Synopsis: The perfect cookbook for vegetarians on the go, Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Meals in Minutes shows you how to cook the tastiest vegetarian meals -- fast! Contains over 200 recipes, all clocking in at under half an hour. Rose has combined ingenuity with speed to create mouth-watering, original, vegetarian meals in no time. Here is fast food for any occasion -- from a quick solo snack, to a speedy lunch with a friend, or a last-minute impromptu supper. Starting with the storecupboard, Rose gives valuable tips on what to have in stock to ensure you always have the basis of a quick meal or snack. Then, each of the next six chapters is based around the key main ingredients: / Bread / Eggs, Cheese and Dairy Foods / Pasta / Pulses, Grains and Nuts / Vegetables / Fruit. The delicious "meals in minutes" ideas include quick pizzas, pittas and crostini, filling frittatas and tortillas, spicy lentil burgers, risottos, soups, dozens of pasta dishes, gratins and grills, stir fries and salads and plenty of tempting desserts and puddings that you can whip up in a flash. There are also recipes that might take a little longer (but no longer than half an hour) including Polenta with Grilled Vegetables, Mixed Vegetable Curry and Red Beans with Thyme and Coconut Cream. If you keep Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Meals in Minutes handy in the kitchen, you'll never need to worry again when called upon to rustle up a quick meal.
I am not a vegetarian but am trying to eat better sourced/reared meat and fish. Which means they cost more and vegetables as well tasting damn good are quite a bit cheaper. Hence why you might see a few veggie cookbooks reviewed here in the next couple of weeks (and recipes if you are reading this on my cookbook account). This books is well laid out and the photos are good motivation since most of the recipes don't need complicated ingredients acquiring to try them out. I also like the fact that Elliot is incrediably enthusiastic without being an evangelist or disapproving of meat eaters. 8/10. I'll also copy this review to my cookbook (lj user="wolfgirlcook"> and attach some of the recipes in comments.
A library book so not trackable through bookcrossing.
