New Vegetarian Dishes

The cookbook offers more than two hundred largely original vegetarian recipes and practical guidance aimed at replacing meat with palatable, nourishing dishes. It opens with a preface advocating ethical and hygienic motives for meat abstention, then supplies general hints on pulses, grains, and preparation techniques (soaking, cooking times, stock use). Recipes range from pulse-based mains using haricot beans and lentils to accompaniments and desserts, with emphasis on flavour, economy, and step-by-step methods to help cooks produce substantial, well-seasoned meatless meals.
