River Cottage Veg

By Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. From the well-known sustainable-food-advocate omnivore comes this new vegetarian tome. Like his previous books, it’s beautifully illustrated and fun to read; it’s also, in his words, “evangelical.” “Call me power-crazed, but I’m trying to change your life here,” he writes. A modest-amounts-of-meat cookbook, he says, “would be a cop-out! That approach ... is ultimately the wrong mindset for serious change. It suggests you’re clinging on to meat; that you feel any meal is incomplete without it. And that’s the feeling I think we all need to let go of.” Also includes many vegan and raw recipes.
