The Mexican Vegetarian Cookbook by Margarita - Waterstones

The Mexican Vegetarian Cookbook is a dazzling, rich text that highlights the skill of maestras throughout Mexico's diverse regions, relating how vegetables and herbs are the foundation of disparate dishes in the national cuisine. A vegan diet is a vegetarian diet—an especially strict one. Vegans do not consume animal products in any form. This obviously includes meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, and all dairy products, but lots of other foods include animal-derived ingredients that are not so obvious: gelatin, for example, is made from animal bones, and many wines and beers are clarified using egg white or a protein that comes from fish. Some vegans—but not all—also avoid honey and any foods that contain it. Vegetarian" means different things to different people, so it's a good idea to make sure a cookbook's definition lines up with your own. None of the books above use meat in any form, but many do use eggs, milk, and cheese. It's easy enough to avoid individual recipes that call for ingredients you don't want to eat, but a vegetarian who avoids dairy probably won't be a big fan of a vegetarian cookbook that uses lots of dairy.

Plus, it's never been more likely that a dinner party guest is going to show up with dietary restrictions. Best to have a veggie dish in your culinary arsenal to keep everyone happy! The introduction details pantry and equipment essentials, offers knife lessons, and includes a lengthy produce guide. Whether you’re a strict vegetarian or not, recipes like summer vegetable gratin; twice-baked potatoes with broccoli, cheddar, and scallions; and frittata with asparagus and goat cheese will have you returning to this book time and time again.

The meaningful, the beautiful, the big, the small, the weird, the essential. Books remind us of what we love and what’s important. What we have been, what we are and what we can become. As with any kind of cookbook, a vegetarian cookbook might be targeted at complete beginners, trained professionals, or anybody between. When choosing one, consider your own level of experience and the amount of time you want to dedicate to cooking: Are you looking for 10-minute one-pan dinners or weekend-long adventures? You can find both, but not likely in the same book. Beautifully designed, with an eye-popping cover and vivid photography throughout, The Mexican Vegetarian Cookbook is an inspiring addition to any home cook’s kitchen shelf.
