Vegetarian food
Nowadays, vegetarians can enjoy food that's as exciting, colourful and full of flavour as the dishes enjoyed by meat-eaters. It wasn't always so! Delia has drawn on some of the best cuisines in the world to bring you a selection of vegetarian recipes that will have you spoilt for choice!
Serves 4A Confit of Cranberries for serving with Game or Duck
The title says it all and this jewel-like confit is the perfect foil for the richness of game or duck - you could also serve it with cheeses and cold cuts at Christmas as a change from your usual chutney.
Serves 1A Souffle Omelette with Three Cheeses and Chives
Supper in five minutes? This speedy vegetarian soufflé omelette is so easy and is particularly appealing to those who are wary of making a standard soufflé in the oven.
Serves 4A Confit of Redcurrants, Orange and Mint
Perfect with lamb, this easy confit is a superb way to use up any gluts of redcurrants that may assail you during the summer!
Serves 4A Summer Soup of Lettuce, Cucumber and Peas
Low-fat and lovely, this hot-weather soup will become a regular in your repertoire, especially if your garden is overflowing with home-grown produce…
Serves 4Ajo Blanco – Chilled Almond Soup
It may sound unusual, but you really must try this cooling, summery almond soup - a Spanish classic and just the thing for lunch on a balmy day.
Serves 2Aligot (Mashed Potatoes with Garlic and Cheese)
Traditionally served as an accompaniment to steak, this French version of mashed potato is well worth trying!
Serves 4All-in-One Baked Vegetables
Who says cooking is difficult? This quick recipe is a great way of cooking several veggies at once - and roasting them retains all the flavour and nutritional value. Wonderful with the Sunday roast!
Serves 3Alpine Eggs
This was Delia's first televised recipe, shown in September 1973 - and is as good today as it was nearly 40 years ago, a quick, easy and cheap lunch or supper dish that can be adapted to any number you like.
Serves 8Amaretti Chocolate Cake
Extremely rich and packed with wonderful almondy amaretti flavours, this grown-up cake can just as well be served as a dinner-party dessert, with or without cream.
Serves 2A Fricassee of Eggs with Spinach and Fiorentina Sauce
Good-quality fresh sauces are a boon for the busy cook. In this lovely vegetarian recipe Delia combines a spinach and cheese sauce with freshly cooked eggs and leafy spinach for a meat-free treat.
