Feasts of Veg: Vibrant Vegetarian Recipes for Gatherings; Nina Olsson

Following on from the success of Bowls of Goodness, Nina moves from casual bowl food to celebrating in style. This joyful book focuses on delicious festive vegetable dishes that are easy to make. The recipes are driven by modern plant-based cooking inspired by kitchens from around the world: with Mediterranean, Asian, Northern European and Middle Eastern flavours. Chapters include Soups & Breads, Cold Buffet (including canapes, celebration salads and picnic food), Warm Buffet, Fire Food (including skewers, pizzas and slow-roasts), Sharing Plates, Sweet Endings and the Bar (botanical alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails). This is food for relaxed parties with a pick-and-mix attitude, but there are also stand-out dishes to feed the whole party and more fine-dining plates for dinner parties. Recipes include Fig & Goat's Cheese Muffins, Blinis with Beluga Lentils & Lemony Cashew Fraiche, Spring Revival Salad, Pizza Nicoise, Kashbah Aubergine Skewers, and Wild Forest Summer Cake. Nina makes vegetarian cooking fun and sociable - the recipes, in themselves, are worth celebrating!
