From the Back Cover
Following the success of Cooking Without, Barbara Cousins received numerous requests for a second book. This time, she decided to write a vegetarian version, mainly because so many vegetarian dishes rely on the use of milk, cream, cheese and wheat - and appetizing recipes without those ingredients are harder to find. Back in the kitchen, Barbara has put together a new collection of recipes which are not only for vegetarians, but for everyone wishing to include more healthy, enjoyable vegetarian meals in their diet. Barbara has designed recipe which are well-balanced as well as being delicious. Ingredients such as gluten, dairy produce, sugar, yeast and saturated fat, which cause many individuals to have health problems, have been excluded and interesting new alternatives have been included to create healthy dishes, full of flavour. The result is a way of eating that encourages the body to produce extra energy which then can be used for elimination, healing and weight control.

About the Author
Barbara Cousins is a qualified nutritional therapist. Cooking Without was first a self-published book, written primarily for the author's clients. Then word spread and she sold over 11,000 herself before Thorsons published.

Customer Reviews

The tastiest everything-free recipes and easiest to make
I bought this book in May and it is now my 'bible'. I'm allergic to gluten, dairy, yeast as well as sugar. I can eat EVERYTHING in this book, no more substitutions. As a bonus, they all taste GREAT! (esp. tofu cheesecake - even my sugar-junkie husband loves it!) For everyday quick meals, quick-make scones and cakes, special occasions (try the basil & almond pesto to impress) this book has taught me how to cook as well as made my diet a joy instead of a chore. Once you get your store cupboard sorted, you can make these lovely, healthy and nutritious recipes with virtually no experience at all. Buy it and ENJOY FOOD AGAIN!

I love it!
This is a fabulous book. It is full of ideas for vegetarians with alergies. I just love looking through it, planning what to try next. The ingredients are not too abstract, which makes the book very accessible. My husband is a veggie with no known alergies, and he has switched his diet to these healthy tasty dishes too. If you have alergies/intolerances then buy this book.... you will not be disappointed.

Excellent book, yummy recipes
The book is excellent with an informative section which discusses the human digestive system and the effect that different types of food have on it. I'd recommend this book both to people with special dietry requirments and those just looking for something different. The recipes are easy, delicious and don't require too many special ingrediants.
