Publisher's Synopsis
No meat, no fish, no dairy produce and no honey - at first glance the vegan diet seems alarmingly austere. This book attempts to dispel this myth by showing that vegans can eat a range of dishes from India, the Middle and Far East and the Mediterranean, where shortages of meat and dairy products, or dietary restrictions for religious reasons, have resulted in the development of a vegan tradition. Hummous, falafel, ratatouille, gazpacho, guacamole, oriental stirfries, couscous and British summer pudding, all are authentic dishes that are delicious, nutritious and free of animal products. These are a few of the wide variety of soups, salads, starters, main dishes, breads and desserts that feature in this cookbook. David Scott is the author of "The Japanese Cookbook" and "Seasonal Salads".
