What was needed to encourage him to cook was an easily attainable taste of home, oh, and pictures with every recipe! "Vegetarian Nosh for Students" was born. Since then, Joy has helped over 100,000 students get cooking with her straightforward and simple approach. Joy helps to take the chore out of cooking, giving students a taste of success and making the experience so much fun.

the vegetarian option the vegetarian option
Simon Hopkinson

All too often, the vegetarian option is an afterthought on a restaurant menu or the vegetables are relegated to a side dish at home. Here, for the first time, Simon Hopkinson focuses entirely on cooking mouth-watering recipes without meat or fish. Using fresh good-quality produce and combining appropriate ingredients in season are key to Simon Hopkinson's cooking.

Invitingly, throughout the book, ingredients that go together are paired together: aubergine & pimento; tomatoes & olives; pappardelle & porcini, peaches & plums, for example. Vegetables feature strongly, of course, but there are also plenty of original ideas and gorgeous recipes for herbs, pasta, rice, pulses, eggs and dairy, fruit - and cocktails! Simplicity, practicality and sensitivity are the essence of Simon's cooking, and his recipes are a joy to make. But there is so much more to appreciate in this highly original book as the author's evocative writing brings his food to life on every page.

Superbly photographed by Jason Lowe, The Vegetarian Option is not written exclusively for vegetarians, but as a fresh source of inspiration for all genuine food lovers. 224pp

a vegan taste of East Africa a vegan taste of East Africa
Linda Majdzlik

East Africa is a region of contrasts and home to literally hundreds of ethnic and tribal groups, who speak a variety of languages and have many different religions. One aspect that many of these groups have in common, however, is the kind of meals eaten, which for most people are based around a starchy staple such as a grain or root vegetable dish, accompanied by thick, flavourful soups and stews and speciality breads. 112pp

a vegan taste of Central America a vegan taste of Central America
Linda Majdzlik

As is the tradition in all Latin American countries, the main meal of the day is generally eaten at midday. It can consist of soup or a selection of little savoury appetisers, followed by the main course, usually accompanied by a grain dish, salad, salsa, vegetable dish and tortillas or bread. Typically for dessert fresh fruit is served, although more elaborate dishes are made for special occasions. Fruit drinks are often served with the meal and coffee or hot chocolate are favourites to round off a meal. 112pp

a vegan taste of Eastern Europe a vegan taste of Eastern Europe
Linda Majdzlik

The orchards of central and southern parts of Eastern Europe are very productive and a wide variety of fruit is grown, much of it dried, bottled or made into jam. Almonds, chestnuts, hazelnuts and walnuts also feature in both sweet and savoury recipes. Although a wide range of meat-free dishes is enjoyed on certain days of the year for religious reasons, many people still find it hard to believe that anyone would avoid meat by choice and the concept of veganism is not widely understood. But with so many of the basic ingredients highly suitable for the vegan diet and dairy-free alternatives to even sour cream increasingly available, there is now plenty of scope to sample the culinary delights of Eastern Europe at home. 128pp

the new vegan cookbook: innovative vegetarian recipes free of dairy, eggs, and cholesterol the new vegan cookbook: innovative vegetarian recipes free of dairy, eggs, and cholesterol
Lorna Sass

Since a vegan diet eliminates all animal products--no meat or fish, of course, but also no eggs, cheese, or milk--it is 100% cholesterol-free. For this reason, many people are attracted to vegan meals for health reasons. Others have philosophical or ecological concerns.
The goal of this book is to create memorable dishes that aren't commonly found in vegetarian cookbooks. It's the New Soy approach, but for vegans. Using whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, and abundance of herbs and spices, author Lorna Sass shows us a vegan lifestyle that's anything but boring. From Mediterranean Red Lentil Pate to Phyllo Triangles Filled with Kale, Pinenuts, and Currants, The New Vegan Cookbook has a recipe guaranteed to entice anyone - even meat-eaters. 112pp
