Or it can come out amazing when you were expecting very little. ↗

There are three reasons why this book came into being. First, throughout the 33 years I've been writing recipes - although I'm not vegetarian myself - I have greatly enjoyed creating vegetarian recipes, and cooking and serving them at home. ↗

Often, on the brink of finding the recipe for immortality, I get distracted by the frightful presence of death. ↗
