Triumph of the Lentil

This cookbook was written mostly while the author was looking after a baby. With limited time and a need to get nutrition out of every bite, Hilda creates vegan wholefood recipes with a real awareness of busy and active lifestyles. With appetising photos and clear instructions for every recipe, this book will inspire you to rely on your own healthy home cooking. Using no artificial or pre-made products, Hilda shows you how to create delicious meals from everyday ingredients that can be found locally and organically throughout the year. These recipes are easy enough for everyday use, but flavoursome and filling enough to impress your family and guests.
