So, what do you eat?

Eating vegetarian is a real culinary adventure. Once you’ve broken out of the conventional meat-and-two-veg, you can break all the rules, or stick with more familiar tastes if you prefer.
Many of your favourite dishes, such as spaghetti bolognaise, chilli, stir-fry and curries can be made with soya mince, pulses or just vegetables. Bean burgers, pizzas, veggie sausages, ratatouille, baked beans, scrambled eggs, jacket potatoes, many cheeses and all sorts of ready meals, pasta sauces and soups are all suitable for vegetarians already. A few recipe ideas are shown on the following pages, but before you start cooking, fill your cupboards with the right basic ingredients and you’ll find the transition much easier, and tastier.
