Maria Elia's recipes combine her grasp of world flavours with her ingenuity in the kitchen. Recipes are full of sensational flavours, colours and textures - stunning, imaginative vegetarian dishes that taste fantastic. The vegetables are, of course, the star of the show, and Maria shows us the versatility of her favorites for example Aubergine: smoke over a gas flame, which you can then turn into a curry; mash and mix with potato, griddle, roll in dukkah and wrap around mozzarella; grill with miso, Japanese style, or blitz into a Mediterranean salad. Her unique 'Textures of' sections also gives you some fantastically inspired ideas for common ingredients, such as peas, plums and coffee. With over 120 recipes divided into chapters including Stylish Starters, Sensational Mains, Sofa Suppers, Sassy Sides, Simple Staples and Stunningly Sweet, this is truly a vegetarian adventure. With this book, you will never run out of ideas.
