Product Information

I taught myself completely, but I don’t cook difficult food – just delicious food that’s fun to make and won’t stress you out.

Lots of veg and the fresh zing of herbs makes your mouth feel really alive – and you don’t need to have a lie down afterwards, even if you eat loads.From midweek meal planning to weekend feasting, you’re sure to find a cookbook on this list that will help you on your path to vegetarian eating. I don’t own a house or a car, there are loads of things I haven’t got that other people do – for a long time, my business was everything and I didn’t see much of my family and friends. Slaws like this one are a great option if you want to make a salad to keep in the fridge as it won’t go floppy!
