BEST VEG BOOK!
I have to say, i'm not a vegetarian, but have enjoyed using this book no end. It provides so many great veg recipes as well as super ideas of side dishes - a great move on from your standard boiled veg which is utterly dull. i have really started to enjoy vegetables like never before with this book and all with the bonus of healthy recipes.

Gorgeous Annie Bell
I must be one of Annie Bell's biggest fans... although it took me a while to realise it. For years I've kept a recipe file full of magazine cuttings and, one day, as I was going through them, I noticed half of them had been written by the same person - Annie Bell.
I'm thrilled she's written these "gorgeous" books... it's enabled me to clear out drawers full of magazine cuttings for one thing!
Her writing style is beautiful... she combines the luxurious prose of Nigella ("trifles are a deep sea dive, down through a glassy surface of cream to an underworld of hidden treasures" she says in Gorgeous Desserts) with the clear practicality of Delia. I agree with everyone else who says her recipes are simple but they do fling together imaginative flavour combinations, eliciting great reactions from dinner party guests. And, blessed joy, they pretty much always work. Her chocolate fondants are the most reliable version of that recipe I've ever found while, in this book, the pastry for her pea and feta tart is divine (and I'm not a very good pastry maker).
Like other reviewers, I'm a vegetarian and, although there are some meaty intrusions into this book (it's not, after all, written FOR veggies), it's one of the best recipe-suggestors for non-meat eaters I've ever read.
Get this woman on the telly!

Yummy recipes
I bought this book after I saw a selection of her recipes in a sunday newspaper and thought how good they sounded. I've made a few things from the book and must say they were all excellent and very yummy. Its great to find simple recipes without meat. My partner and myself are not vegetarians, but loved the food ideas - especially the gratins and stuffed peppers. There are lots of easy to follow recipes, which are great for summer eating. Highly recommended!
