Introduction

When I wrote my Complete Vegetarian Cookbook, back in 1985, vegetarian and vegan food was not as popular or as mainstream as it is today. Nowadays, I look around my local supermarket and there is a wealth of fabulous fresh produce available. I can enjoy ingredients from around the world and if I am cooking for someone with a dietary requirement, there are loads of alternatives to pick from. In fact, following a healthy, nutritious and varied diet has never been easier. So, I hope my New Complete Vegetarian recipe book will help you make the most of the glorious range of ingredients we can all enjoy.

In this book you’ll find hundreds of delicious, easy-to-make vegetarian and vegan recipes. Here you’ll find my classic recipes that I turn to again and again, and often get asked for, plus many new ones to enjoy. You’ll also find information on cooking and preparing vegetables, fruits, pulses and nuts, plus symbols for those recipes that are vegan v and those that can be frozen . Many dishes include variations, so if you don’t like a particular ingredient, you can often replace it with something else. In fact, I would always encourage you to try out new dishes and have fun making the recipes your own.

So, if you’re one of my dear loyal readers from the past, I hope you will love this new edition as much as you did the first one; and if this is your first encounter with my Complete Vegetarian Cookbook, it’s so good to have you here and I hope you will find it an inspiring and practical friend in the kitchen. Whether you’re an old friend or a new one, I wish you many wonderful meals and health and happiness in your life and on your vegetarian journey.
