For those whose tastes don't always run to meat, Vegie Food offers delicious recipes that are also surprisingly low in fat. There are quick and simple salads and stir-fries here alongside wonderfully hearty curries, soups and stews. And with cooking methods such as grilling, barbecuing, steaming and braising, eating vegetarian food that is low in fat no longer means low in flavour.

Useful for vegetarians who want to lose weight or maintain their weight, this book contains recipes for salads, stir-fries, barbecues and steamed dishes, along with a few desserts.

These recipes have a balance of protein and carbohydrates, many vegetables for vitamins and fibre and very little fat.
