Editorial Reviews

Praise for the original UK edition of Good Veg (published as The New Vegetarian)

“I could cook from this book every night and have the perfect supper on the table daily.”
—Nigella Lawson

“The new contender for best vegetarian cookbook on the planet . . . this is so, so special. It is revolutionary. I want to cook and eat everything in it.”
—Gizzi Erskine, UK chef and author of Gizzi’s Kitchen Magic, My Kitchen Table: 100 Foolproof Suppers, Skinny Weeks and Weekend Feasts, and Gizzi’s Healthy Appetite, TV presenter for Iron Chef

“The New Vegetarian could be our favorite yet . . . Alice’s book is bursting with easy, seasonal dishes and twists on old favorites. At a time when we’re all trying to go a little greener, this book is essential.”
—Jamie Magazine, by Jamie Oliver

“This beautiful book is full to the brim with recipes that reflect the way we want to eat now: vibrant, joyful food that is not only delicious but healthful as well. I want to cook everything in it!”
—Skye Gyngell, Australian Michelin-starred chef and former food editor for Vogue

“This is the best vegetarian book I’ve ever read or cooked from. I absolutely love it and indeed every food lover should own this book.”
—Diana Henry, Irish chef, food writer for The Sunday Telegraph, author of eight cookbooks

“The vegetarian cookbook to end them all, the one that all this Meat-Free Monday and Veganuary and 5:2 Flexitarianism has been leading to: veggie recipes that scrimp on absolutely nothing. You know you should be eating less meat, you know about the eco and health and financial benefits. And this is how to do it.”—Red magazine

“Her food just tastes amazing.”—The Pool online magazine

Praise for Vegetarian: A Delicious Celebration of Fresh Ingredients

“You won’t miss the meat’ is a cliché, but here, it applies. Breakfast to dessert, these are universally appealing dishes, beautifully photographed.”—Washington Post

From the Publisher

02/15/2017
Whether you're in search of a quick breakfast, a midweek meal, or a showstopper for a special occasion, you'll find a recipe to suit within this contemporary vegetarian cookbook. UK-based food writer and author Hart (Friends at My Table) presents satisfying dishes for everyday cooking, including spiced buckwheat waffles with mango, roasted broccoli tart with a cauliflower crust, farro and squash kofta in a roasted tomato sauce, and vegan chocolate mousse with walnut-sesame brittle. She covers a wide range of global flavors and emphasizes fresh produce more than meat substitutes. Included are raw, sprouted, and fermented preparations, as well as options for vegan, low-sugar, and gluten-free diets. VERDICT Delving further into the whole-foods pantry than Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage Veg, Hart's new collection is a great choice for readers seeking vegetarian recipes beyond the ordinary.
