Diana White; paperback, 208 pages, 2008

More than 160 delicious recipes that will help you stay healthy through the seasons.

Vegan Rustic Cooking is packed with fiber-rich, low-glycemic-index, whole foods that encourage friendly gut bacteria and give more food for fewer calories. The useful index lists not just recipe titles but also ingredients. This means you can select the available veggies from your garden or veggie box, look them up in the index, and choose an appropriate recipe that uses what you have available! This will enable you to cook tasty food from the freshest, healthiest ingredients you can find, all year round.

"You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy this book . . . an interest in healthy living and using seasonal vegetables is all you need." —Kitchen Garden

The recipes are organized in sections: Soups; Fillings for Sandwiches, Toast, and Baked Potatoes; Sauces; Main Meals; and Baked Goods. There are even naughty fry-ups (all the fun without the health hazards), omelets, quiches, pizzas, and puddings galore! Each section is arranged according to the seasonal availability of the ingredients.
