International Eats Without Meat

This book is a short recipe book in which the recipes are garnered from around the world. As well as enjoying international travel, sometimes to remote places, Julia and Peter greatly enjoy cooking and sharing meals with friends. These meals are often part of a 'themed' evening and often friends bring ingredient contributions. The descriptions of how to prepare and cook the meals are simple and each contain a coloured photograph of the dish described. Both Julia and her husband have attended a fascinating cooking class in Morocco, shopping for the ingredients in the spice scented souk. They have also sat around a fire, in the early dusk, in a hill tribe in northern Thailand and jotted down descriptions of the meals. Julia has taught cookery in a day centre and in a special school and encouraged residents in a nursing home to continue to enjoy preparation and baking. The book is intended to be used in a fun way. It can be dipped into for the odd meal or it can be used to prepare three varied meals a day for guests for a week. From personal experience the message is you don't need to be a professional chef to produce exciting meals at home.
