Reviewed by Moira Adams As the title suggests, this is more than just a recipe book. It is a very useful guide for people who are new to vegetarian cooking - or new to any kind of cooking for that matter. Ms Elliot explains basic cooking techniques in an easy-to-follow way, including topics which other books assume you already know. She explains how to prepare over 40 different kinds of vegetables, and gives sound advice on choosing, buying and storing hundreds of other ingredients. There is a useful section on kitchen equipment, and another on menu planning. There is also a very valuable section called 'Getting all the nutrients you need'. Of course, Ms Elliot provides plenty of recipes as well - more than 200 of them. They include soups, appetizers, main course dishes, desserts and breads. She has gone out of her way to choose straightforward recipes which novice cooks can tackle with confidence, but never at the expense of quality or food value. I especially like the fact that she does not get hung up on exact quantities; her aim is to teach you to cook, not to give you a formula to follow blindly. Many of the recipes are vegan. In other cases, she has provided details of how to vary the recipe to make it vegan. If you are just starting out on the road to a meat-free diet, or if you just want to sharpen your culinary skill, this is definitely a book that you should own.
