This dedicated cookbook combines gourmet flavors with the vegetarian lifestyle to create captivating dishes that could convert even the most avid carnivore. With tips for maintaining a healthy, balanced diet and preparing full course vegetarian banquettes and family dinners, it’s a must-read for any veggie-lover.

This cookery book aims to provide guidance on every aspect of vegetarian living. As well as including over 200 recipes and festive menus from six guest cooks, it also considers the special dietary requirements of children, pregnant women, athletes, the elderly and vegans. Colin Spencer offers menus for meals as diverse as family breakfasts and candlelit suppers. Designed to give encouragement both to the "converted" and those considering vegetarianism, "The New Vegetarian" attempts to show that gourmet food and vegetarianism can be one and the same thing. The author is food writer of "The Weekend Guardian" and has previously published "Cordon Vert".

I borrowed this from a library and photocopied almost every page. The first book I found that took vegetarian food away from wholefoods and into the pleasure zone.
