Leon Fast Vegetarian

The philosophy at the heart of Leon: Fast Vegetarian is about cooking and eating delicious, healthy fast food made from sustainable vegetarian ingredients. You will find flavors in this book from all over the world, but the recipes have deliberately been kept simple, with ingredients that are easily available.

Eating less - or no - meat has become key to the way many of us cook, and this collection of more than 150 really simple, really fast recipes, is a treat for vegivores everywhere. The first part of the book offers vegetable-based dishes that can stand alone as a whole meal; while the second part explores accompaniments and smaller plates.

This is not about spending hours in the kicthen, but about bringing family and friends together with simple, gutsy, happy-making food. It should provide inspiration to both experienced cooks and culinary novices.
