This cookbook is a collection of fast, simple to prepare and easy-to-cook vegetarian recipes - most taking no more than 30 minutes maximum from start to finish. Some of the recipes are no more than delicious snacks for when readers are in a hurry, whereas others are more substantial meals for sharing with family and friends. Many are simple, homely dishes which are rustic in their origin, but increasingly popular today as people discover a renewed interest in healthy Mediterranean food. Others are more extravagant and draw on old favourites, plus dishes from farther afield. In addition to the recipe section, there is practical advice on time-saving cooking methods and equipment, stocking up the store cupboard and freezer with useful standbys, together with lots of cooking tips and advice, plus information on unusual ingredients. Rose Elliot is the author of "The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook", "Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Cookery", "Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Christmas" and "Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Four Seasons".
