The popularity of the part-time vegetarian (flexitarian) diet – one that is largely vegetarian but occasionally includes poultry, meat and seafood – is growing. As meat and fish become more and more expensive and the health benefits of a vegetarian diet are well documented, The Part-Time Vegetarian taps into a growing trend of flexitarian eating. Rather than meat or fish taking centre stage, the recipes in this book showcase the often under-used vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, eggs and dairy foods – and show just how delicious and varied this way of eating can be. Organised by meal type, the book features chapters on Breakfasts & Brunches, Light Meals, Weekday Dinners, Weekend Cooking and Food for Sharing. The recipes are all vegetarian, but the majority include a Part-Time Variation, showing you how to include meat or fish if you feel like it. It’s the perfect book for the casual vegetarian looking for a nutritious and environmentally intelligent way to eat, those who want to cater for a vegetarian, or the committed vegetarian who wants to try new recipes. The Part-Time Vegetarian makes vegetarian eating doable.

Do you want to adopt a more FLEXIBLE approach to your diet? Looking for less of a rigid regime, and more of an ORGANIC way to eat a mainly VEGETARIAN diet? Delve into this collection of DELICIOUSLY VERSATILE MODERN recipes, with simple options for switching meat or fish in or out as the mood takes you, or adapting for a vegan diet. 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 centring 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. Recipes include a warm curried lentil salad with crispy paneer and spiced dressing, but the paneer can be swapped for crispy prawns if you are looking to add some more protein. A winter vegetable stew with herbed dumplings is substantial enough on its own, but this cookbook gives the option 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 mince meat, while the Moroccan spiced vegetable tagine gives an option for cooking with chicken, if the mood so takes you.
The Vegetarian
Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people. He is an office worker with moderate ambitions and mild manners; she is an uninspired but dutiful wife. The acceptable flatline of their marriage is interrupted when Yeong-hye, seeking a more 'plant-like' existence, decides to become a vegetarian, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares. In South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision is a shocking act of subversion. Her passive rebellion manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, leading her bland husband to self-justified acts of sexual sadism. His cruelties drive her towards attempted suicide and hospitalisation. She unknowingly captivates her sister's husband, a video artist. She becomes the focus of his increasingly erotic and unhinged artworks, while spiralling further and further into her fantasies of abandoning her fleshly prison and becoming - impossibly, ecstatically - a tree. Fraught, disturbing and beautiful, The Vegetarian is a novel about modern day South Korea, but also a novel about shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others, from one imprisoned body to another.
