The Green Batch Cook Book: Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes for Busy People [9781472147080]

Overview

Delicious vegetarian and vegan batch cook recipes for busy people.

The phenomenal rise in the popularity of veganism, plant-based meals and flexitarian diets means that more of us are regularly choosing to cook meat-free dishes. Concerns about waste and budgets have ensured that making conscious decisions about using leftovers and root-to-shoot eating is becoming mainstream.

But as traditional batch cook recipes often lean towards meat-based meals, finding brilliant vegetarian and vegan ideas can be tricky. That's where The Green Batch Cook Bookcomes in, harnessing the vibrant fresh flavours of fruit and vegetables in an innovative and breezy collection of 70 meat-free recipes.

Start your day with beautiful breakfasts - Sweet Potato, Pepper and Feta Frittata, No-knead Marmite and Cheese Loaf, Rose-pink Rhubarb and Vanilla Custard Pancakes - or simply bake a batch of Brown Sugar Rusks and Cranberry to eat on the run. Lazy make-ahead lunch recipes include Garlicky Mushroom and Chestnut Sausage Rolls, Edamame and Spring Green Pot Stickers and a simple but irresistible Broccoli, Lemon and Almond Salad.

Feeding a crowd? Check out the family-friendly big batch chapter with tempting recipes for Mushroom, Broccoli and Walnut Lasagne, Summer Veg Patch Risotto or Sticky Aubergine Bao Buns with Smacked Cucumber. And if it's sweets or treats you're after, you'll love the ridiculously easy Cornflake Florentines, Blood Orange Upside-down Cake, tangy Lemon and Elderflower Slices or the wild Jumbleberry Sorbet.
