Cast aside any thought of denying yourself gastronomic pleasure – any visions of brown rice, brown lentils and even browner nut roast – any pre-conceptions about deprivation and emptiness – and enter the charismatic and flamboyant world of vegan cookery, with its endless spectrum of flavours, textures, scents and colours.
The nut roast is studded with golden toasted walnuts, brazils and cashews, partnered not by a dull gravy made with Marmite, but a vibrant plum and cranberry chutney.
The lentils might be slate green rather than brown, combined with silky roasted peppers, coriander, pickled lemons, pine nuts and raisins to create a lively, earthy Middle Eastern salad. Now be honest – does any of this sound in the least bit dreary, let alone ‘brown’?!
In this book, food writer and private chef, Isabel Hood, sets out to prove that the glass, far from being half empty, is full to the brim, full to overflowing with mouth watering possibilities.
Whether you are a fully fledged vegan or a beginner just dipping your toes into the water, this collection of vegan recipes will introduce you to a whole new world of exciting dishes based on fruit and vegetables, pulses and grains, nuts and seeds, pungent herbs and warm aromatic spices – prepare to be DAZZLED!
I just reviewed the Vegan Cookbook here and have already found a fab tomato sauce, a couple of soups I wish to try and a whole new view of vegan food and recipes. There are a great array of Mexican meals, Thai green Curry and a Moroccan chickpea dish.
