Book excerpt: Recent health scares have seen huge increases in the numbers of peolple choosing a vegetarian diet. Vegetarianism has long since shed its image of worthiness and blandness and the GOOD HOUSEKEEPING STEP-BY-STEP VEGETARIAN COOK BOOK proves once and for all that vegetarian food means far more than dry nut roasts and lentil casseroles. Drawing on the vegetarian traditions of many countries, from the Mediterranean to Mexico, it is both a superb collection of recipes and an authoritative source of information on ingredients, cooking techniques and nutrition. One of the book's outstanding features is a colour index, containing a photgraph of every dish in the book. An ingredients guide then looks at the essential elements of vegetarian cuisine, from rice and grains to eggs and cheese, with information on the varieties available and key cooking techniques. Chapter by chapter the book then builds into an unrivalled collection of over 450 recipes, from Italian and Indian to Thai and Tunisian, with clear step-by-step photographs which make cooking even the most sophisticated dish supremely easy. Preparation and cooking times, freezing instructions, calorie counts, cook's tips and variations are just some of the additional features.
