Amazon.co.uk Review
Katheryn Hamilton, who wrote a food column Glasgow's Saturday Times, has collected 100 of her favourite dishes for Glasgow Greens. These are not the dull brown rice and brown flour dishes often associated with vegetarian food, but wonderful meals which incorporate the best of Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. This little book covers the entire spectrum of what you may want to cook: soups, starters or light meals, side dishes, sauces and salsas, oven baked dishes, pasta, gnocci and polenta, tarts, pancakes and desserts. Recipes include Aubergine Cannelloni, Potato Cake with Chives, Basil and Goat's Cheese, and Grilled Polenta with Coriander Pesto. It's a delightful book offering innovative recipes for vegetarians as well as meat-eaters who enjoy the occasional vegetarian meal.

Customer Reviews

Foolproof, delicious food
I first came across this book when a friend cooked a meal under the impression that our daughters were vegetarian. They aren't - we aren't - but we were hooked and I immediately bought Glasgow Greens on the internet.
I endorse what the other two reviewers have said - the food is wonderfully fresh, fragrant and tasty and the recipes REALLY DO WORK - every time. How often can you say that? All the work has been done for you and the resultant mix and balance of ingredients is spot on.
I have shelfloads of cookery books, but I turn to Glasgow Greens on so many occasions because I can be certain that what I cook will look good, smell delicious and taste even better.
Kathryn - if you ever read this - thank you.

The Vegetarian's dinner party bible!!!
I received this book 3 years ago as a christmas present and can honestly say it's the best veggie cookbook I've ever had. There are some good traditional recipes like gratin dauphinois, guacamole, & a fresh tomato and basil sauce for pasta and many more adventurous ones too. I've used recipes from the book for numerous dinner parties for non-veggie friends and none of them ever complained of missing meat. Every single recipe I've tried (still haven't done them all) has turned out fantastic. Even if you're not a vegetarian, I would recommend this book because the food always turns out delicious!!!
