A vegetarian companion edition to the bestselling
student cookery book, Beyond
Baked Beans. Fiona Beckett sets out in typically groundbreaking
fashion to revolutionise the way in which students cook and eat vegetarian
food. This is a book that treats the post-Jamie generation to a feast
of wonderful and affordable vegetarian recipes coupled with sensible
advice on menu building, entertaining and nutrition. A book as much
for the occasional meat-abstaining student as for the dedicated veggie
household. The book comprises sections called 'Solo' (for beginners,
or those living on their own or with limited resources); 'Sharing'
(for those cooking for fellow students – or seeking to seduce
fellow students!); and 'Show-Off' (for the more ambitious, eager to
display their new-found cooking skills). There's also a section called
'Baking Therapy' (for the nostalgic, full of lots of recipes to remind
you fo home).
Fiona Beckett is an award-winning food and drink
journalist who has written for The Guardian, The Times and Sainsbury's
Magazine among many others, and is a contributing editor to Decanter
Magazines. In 2002 she was voted Food Writer of the Year by the Guild
of Food Writers. She is the author of a number of books, including
the bestselling Beyond Baked
Beans, and the comfort food classic, Sausage
& Mash.
