Still, I am not a vegetarian and this is important to mention. I refer to meat and fish in the introductions to the recipes as I occasionally have them in the back of my mind. But I don’t miss these two elements. In this book I offer dozens of solid dishes, all balanced and nurturing, that just happen to include neither fish nor meat.
Why vegetarianism then? What is the reason behind not having meat or fish? Why would people be interested in this vegetarian collection?

First, this is an assembly of my work in the Guardian over the past four years. I have often been asked by readers, who’ve become fed up with collecting little bits of torn paper, to assemble it all together in one volume. Most of these bits of paper are now here for them, plus plenty more new recipes I haven’t published before.
