Vegetarian cookery has come of age over the last two decades and Rowan’s new book offers mouth-watering flavours and tempting dishes using all the fabulous produce, spices and herbs available today. Her enthusiasm for food is infectious and the recipes easy to follow. Make your own black raspberry vinegar, olive and prune tapenade, Tuscan tart and Szechuan ‘clay pot’ casserole, or try scrumptious apple and cranberry custard pie, persimmon spice cake, brinjal (eggplant) chutney and the irresistible limoncello. • 180 recipes with ideas to mix and match mains, side dishes, salads and starters. • Most of the recipes take advantage of seasonal produce when it’s at its cheapest and best! There are lots of ideas for using asparagus, beetroot, eggplant, feijoas, plums and tomatoes, as well as less familiar produce such as persimmons, quinces and pomegranates. • Main dishes take centre stage, but there are chapters on sauces and dressings, desserts, baking and preserves plus a comprehensive index.

Rowan Bishop

Rowan Bishop has written about food for over 30 years, including three cookbooks and hundreds of columns (food, travel and general interest). “I began writing food columns, along with other freelance work, and produced a first vegetarian cookbook, The Vegetarian Adventure, with friend Sue Carruthers. This was at a time when vegetarian food was denounced as ‘fanatical’ and ‘fringe,’ as opposed to the popularity and acceptance it enjoys today. Of course, now there is a much wider range of products, condiments and produce to choose from, and the popularity of Farmer’s Markets and promotion of fresh, local and increasingly organic produce is really heartening to see ”. Over twenty years in print, The Vegetarian Adventure Cookbook remains a New Zealand classic, and this popular collection of recipes, drawn from cuisines around the world, is as exciting and versatile as ever. Recipes for unusual and exciting dishes are organised into menus, ranging from casual family meals through to gourmet selections. Not just for vegetarians, this book is for anyone who enjoys food and wants to lead a healthy life aided by a well-balanced diet.
