Healthy and delicious meals without meat, fish or animal produce

There are over 250,000 vegans in Britain and numbers are growing, often prompted by food allergies such as lactose intolerance.

A perfect introduction to veganism -- and a source of delicious new ideas for long-established vegans - this inspiring book is endorsed by the Vegan Society and published to coincide with their Diamond Jubilee. Over 90 mouth-watering recipes for all occasions, from Crispy Stuffed Peppadew Peppers and Egg-Free Omelette to Mushroom Stew, and Chocolate Chip and Walnut Ice Cream. There are creative ideas too for emergency snacks and meals when you are in a hurry.

Naturally low in saturated fat because they are meat-, fish-, and dairy-free, these recipes are packed full of flavour and bursting with essential nutrients. And there is clear nutritional information on how to achieve a balanced -- and tasty -- vegan diet.

Tony Westons vegan guesthouse in Scotland won the Vegetarian Hotel of the Year award in 1995. He is also the author of the groundbreaking vegan cookbook Rainbows & Wellies. Tony has worked for the vegetarian society and now works for The Vegan Society.

Yvonne Bishops interest in vegetarian nutrition led to key roles at Holland & Barratt health food chain, Cranks wholefood restaurant, The Food Doctor and now runs her own nutrition and catering consultancy Foods For Life.
