The popularity of the part-time vegetarian (flexitarian) diet one that
is largely vegetarian but occasionally includes poultry, meat and
seafood is growing. As meat and fish become more and more expensive and
the health benefits of a vegetarian diet become better-known, The
Part-Time Vegetarian taps into a growing trend of flexitarian eating.
Rather than meat or fish taking center stage, the recipes in this book
showcase under-used vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, eggs and dairy
foods and show just how delicious and varied this way of eating can
be.
Organized by meal type, the book features chapters on Breakfasts &
Brunches, Light Meals, Weekday Dinners, Weekend Cooking, Food for
Sharing, and Something Sweet. The recipes are all vegetarian, but the
majority include a Part-Time Variation, showing you how to include meat
or fish if the occasion calls for it. It s the perfect book for the
casual vegetarian looking for a nutritious and environmentally
intelligent way to eat, for those who want to cater to a vegetarian, or
the committed vegetarian who wants to try new recipes. The Part-Time
Vegetarian makes vegetarian eating something anyone can do."
