Introduction

Understanding what makes a ‘flexible’ vegetarian is fairly simple. A flexible vegetarian is someone who wants to cut down on the meat and fish they eat, choosing to have it only on occasions, or maybe only if it’s organic. It could also be someone who wants to stop eating meat completely, but still easily cater for meat-eating family and friends. They might want the ingredients in their meals to be more sustainable, kinder to the planet and perhaps even cheaper and healthier. And they want to be able to cook in a flexible way, adding meat and fish when required, but have a store of brilliant, all-vegetarian recipes for every occasion.
