Christmas: Vegetarian

Vegetarians needn't be left to pushing a nut cutlet around the plate at Christmas.

There are plenty of lovely recipes to choose from in this collection, whether it's a starter or main course you are looking for. Cheese and Parsnip Roulade is a winning recipe for anyone who wants all the trimmings but not the meat, Luxuriant Vegetable Pie was devised for vegetarians without any cheese, we even have a vegetarian version of 'sausage' rolls. Don't forget - true vegetarians don't eat Parmesan Cheese, so you may be interested to know you can buy a Parmesan 'style' cheese from Bookham and Harris Farms Ltd.
