The Flexitarian Cookbook: Adaptable recipes for part-time vegetarians and vegans
Less of a rigid regime, and more of an organic attempt to eat a mainly vegetarian diet, The Flexitarian Cookbook features delicious plant-centric recipes, with options for incorporating meat or fish as needed.
Many of us are looking to eat less meat and/or fish, as the host of environmental, ethical and health-related reasons for doing so stacks up. The concept of not centering every meal around an animal-based protein is well on its way to settling into mainstream society. But out there, there is a whole middle-ground of home-cooks, placed somewhere between carnivore and vegan, who are doing their best to reduce meat consumption, but enjoying it on occasion when the urge strikes; the flexitarians. The Flexitarian Cookbook is a collection of delicious, modern vegetarian recipes, with simple options for switching in meat or fish, as the mood takes you. No longer will flexitarians have to juggle between multiple cookbooks or haphazardly hash together a meaty ending to a recipe depending on their cravings. Recipes include a warm curried lentil salad with crispy paneer and spiced dressing, but the paneer can be swapped for crispy shrimp if preferred. A winter vegetable stew with herbed dumplings is substantial enough on its own, but this cookbook gives the options to add slow-cooked beef cheeks, if you like. A best-ever recipe for vegetable and lentil moussaka offers the option to swap the lentils for regular ground meat, while the spiced vegetable casserole, gives an option for cooking with chicken, if the mood so takes you.

This is not a book to buy if you’re shopping on a budget. Lots of the recipes have at least 15 ingredients needed. This isn’t everyday cooking.
An occasional salad looks ok but I don’t recommend.

We’re tried more than 11 recipes in this one and I have to say most of them are rated delicious. This is so my kinda recipe book. As much as I like to accommodate people and guest I’m not the greatest cook so cooking a variety of dishes to meet different needs simply doesn’t work for me. I love this one cause it helps me cater for our lactose intolerant son in the vegan recipes and my meat loving hubby all in one.... if you have a family of mixed needs this ones for you and the recipes are both easy, delicious and mostly ingredients you can find. What a winner

Concise and easily explained recipes. It also allows for modifications and adaptations in the case of actually wanting to eat meat/fish.

Cool idea, beautiful photography, but nothing that I really want to try
