Product Description
Book Description
A low-GI cookbook created especially for vegetarians by world authority, Rose Elliot.
Product Description
Ahead of its time, the hardback of this book (titled Fast, Fresh and Fabulous) was much more than a collection of recipes from Britain's most respected vegetarian author. It offered inspiring, mouth-watering dishes that also had a low GI rating.
Now available in an updated paperback format, Rose shares the secrets of healthy vegetarian and low-GI living. She gives essential information on living as a healthy vegetarian or vegan, whether you want to lose weight, feed your baby or start eating well to look younger and live longer.
Inspired in particular by Mediterranean and Far Eastern cuisine, she combines an abundance of organic vegetables with fresh herbs, exotic spices, beans and grains to produce simple, delicious, energizing dishes. Rose also gives ideas for menu-planning, whether it's for fast, afterwork meals, or celebratory dinner parties.
Beautifully illustrated with over 50 stunning recipe shots, this book will inspire and delight vegetarians, non-vegetarians, and those wanting to follow a low-GI diet.

Format:Paperback
I'm not a vegetarian, but a vegetarian friend showed me her copy of this book, and I just had to buy it. Every recipe I've tried works fantastically well, and whenever I use the recipes to entertain, they are extremely well received. A number of my friends have now bought the book too. I'm definitely going to buy more of Rose Elliot's books.

Format:Paperback
As a lifelong vegetarian I've stopped buying cookbooks as they tend to be a bit samey. However this was given to me recently as a gift and I'm finding it totally inspirational and loving being back in the kitchen.
It's got some really useful nutritional information that I was previously unaware of, loads of interesting suggestions for upping your intake of particular minerals and most importantly, every single recipe looks absolutely delicious.
The GI diet info is really useful but almost by the by - eat this food and you won't feel like you're denying yourself a thing.
I can't think of a bad thing to say about it.

So far, very good!
All the recipes I have cooked so far have been excellent. It's very refreshing to find a vegetarian cookbook which contains a lot of recipes that are also (or can be) vegan. Read more
