At last - what every vegetarian has been waiting for: a vegetarian cookbook from Queen of Cooks, Delia Smith. Footnote by the other blogger: Yumblog is a two-hander and it’s worth mentioning that the opinions of one are not necessarily shared by the other. Food styling: Loic Parisot View image in fullscreen Festive bites: Felicity Cloake’s perfect vegetarian sausage rolls. All traditional sausage rolls, whether they’re billed as Christmas pudding or “ blistering hot”, have meat as their base. Meatless Monday is an international campaign that encourages people not to eat meat on Mondays to improve their health and the health of the planet.

This recipe is specially for my friend Lilie, who is a vegetarian and said I couldn't possibly not include a nut roast. P But what I meant was, the brown rice salad (without the chicken) would make a great dish for Meatless Monday! This one was easy to make and have made extra to freeze in portions of sauce so I can cook vegetables in it for a ready meal.

Cheddar, in Smith’s case, flavoured with grated onion and chopped herbs, bulked out with soft breadcrumbs and moistened with cream. This, along with the vegetables, gives the filling a satisfyingly chewy, nubbly texture somewhat akin to an actual sausage, but naturally rather less meaty. Spoon half the filling into a rough sausage shape down one of the long sides of the pastry, then paint the opposite long side with egg or milk.

As an enthusiastic consumer of the classic variety, I can hand on heart assure you that they more than live up to expectations. We like ecoBrown's Gold wholegrain rice mix which includes unpolished brown rice with black rice and red rice. While Vegetarian Sausage Rolls , "Not Pork" Pie and a variety of hefty vegetable gratins, such as Roasted Vegetable and Brown Rice, evoke a time of wholefood earnestness, before vegetarian food lightened up, most of the recipes belong to a more modern era, characterised by the flavours of the Mediterranean and the Pacific Rim, where vegetables play a more central role in the cuisines. Delia is clearly not very veggie savvy - not only are there a lot of cheese and egg recipes (although there's a list at the back of vegan recipes) but a lot of the cheeses she suggests using are not vegetarian! With an international twist, vegetable tagines and moussakas mingle with British stalwarts such as sausage rolls and mulligatawny.

It might work better with another kind, but then you could also encase meat-free sausages in pastry without any guidance from me. My kids tried it and abandoned the meat one and now prefer the vegetarian version even though two of them are meat eaters .

I also learnt that you don’t need to add lots of things like cream and cheese to make an indulgent risotto, although those ingredients give it a more silky texture, you can still create something special but without all the calories! Cut this oblong into three strips and divide the filling also into three, making three long rolls the same length as the strips of pastry (if it's sticky, sprinkle on some flour).A compilation of recipes from previous Delia books, this also includes 50 new, not-been-published before recipes. And what other vegetarian and vegan party foods would you recommend for those looking to reduce or cut out the meat this year? But it’s a bloody long recipe – not because it’s difficult but because Delia likes to describe in detail every step. Delia's best-selling books have always included a number of delicious vegetarian recipes but now, for the first time, they have been gathered together in one irresistible volume. Most of these dishes seemed more like they were designed to be side dishes rather than a main course.
