Reviews

“No one does a family gathering quite like the Italians, so take inspiration from their seasonal, veg-packed cuisine to create your own savoury showstopper – perfect for Easter or a Sunday lunch.” -Vegetarian Living

“In this book, the writing is clear, the photos inviting, and above all, the sheer breadth of tasty-sounding dishes encyclopedic enough that any level of cook can find something to make. For fans of Italian cuisine, it’s impossible to flip through the pages without salivating, vegetarian or not.” -Eater

“Fantastic book and delivery but the book came with folded pages. The container was intact. Disappointed as unable to get to the Post office to return it. The recipes are very different from normal classic italian cooking and are not all your usual store cupboard ingredients. Though if you want to push your boundaries in cooking vegetarian/vegan cooking then this is the book to try.” -Carmela
