Vegetarian Express
By Rose Elliot |
 |
You don't have to be vegetarian to appreciate Rose Elliot's fresh, fast, and energetic approach to food in Vegetarian Express. The chapter headings say it all-recipes found in Fresh Start Breakfasts, Vitality-Boosting Lunches, and Quick Fixes for the End of the Day guarantee you'll make it through to dessert with energy to spare. You'll be glad you did, especially when you check out Elliot's Wicked Puddings and Sweet Sauces.
Speedy and soothing, Quick and Creamy Porridge with Sultanas and Almonds will stave off mid-morning hunger pangs. An even quicker fix is a Banana Smoothie, with mango and strawberry variations. For lazy Sundays, toss together some Little Buttermilk Pancakes with Blueberries.
For lunch, look no further than The Most Comforting Soup in the World, a creamy potato concoction that's rich in iron, potassium, and vitamin C. If you're in the mood for something crunchy, dip some flatbread into Quick Cannellini Bean Pate, or, for mega-nutrients, try an Avocado and Alfalfa Salad.
If you've come this far, you'll have more than enough energy to prepare a nutritious, flavourful feast for dinner. Try Potato, Spinach, and Chickpeas with Cumin; Crisp Noodle Cakes with Shiitake Mushrooms, Bok Choy and Chilli; or Grilled Mediterranean Vegetables with Lemon and Garlic Marinade and Couscous.
You'll need the extra brainpower you've gained through eating this way just to decide which of Elliot's fantastic recipes you'll end the day with. Indulge in Raspberry Brule or Sunflower and Molasses Flapjacks or, for the more virtuous, Pears in Red Wine and Ginger or Skinny Chocolate Brownies.
Author of over 50 books, Rose Elliot is Britain's foremost vegetarian cookbook author. Her passion and expertise are evident in the introduction to Vegetarian Express, in which she explains the advantages of vegetarian foods and discusses the reasons for becoming vegetarian, taking care to remind readers that becoming vegetarian should be an independent, personal decision. Elliot provides useful information about the foods we eat, from the benefits of phytoestrogens to concerns about GMOs, and includes pantry basics and shopping notes. Whether you've been a vegetarian for years or are merely trying to boost your energy and vitality through the foods you eat, Vegetarian Express will give you plenty of inspiration. |
