Favourite recipes from a seasoned vegetarian who has learnt through trial and error. Mellissa Bushby is not a trained chef, but her passion for food, and for living life mindfully, is evident throughout the book. For many non-vegetarians, the thought of giving up meat is a step too far, but Fresh from the Vegetarian Kitchen will tempt even the most dedicated meat-eater to try 'meat-free Mondays'. With a farmer husband and two growing boys, Mellissa offers food that sustains and nourishes both body and soul. Through the pages, we imagine that mealtimes at the Bushby's yield a table groaning with garden-fresh salads, nourishing main dishes, home-made breads and bakes, and lucious desserts.
