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 1Swiss Baked Eggs
Made in moments, this is the ideal supper dish for one - simple, cheap to make and utterly enjoyable to eat.
Serves 1Cheese and Spinach Souffle Omelette
Don't let the word souffle put you off: this omelette is very reliable and, even though it may look difficult, it always works out well in the end.
Serves 4Old English Summer Soup
A brilliant soup that probably includes your five a day in one bowl! Serve it warm or chilled depending on the weather.
Makes 1 large or 2 small loavesQuick and Easy Wholemeal Loaf
The poet Pam Ayres once said, when describing her home-made wholemeal bread, that it was like 'biting into a cornfield', and that's it – the very best description I've ever come across.
Serves 4Perfect Rice
If you want to cook perfect rice, the kind that always stays light and fluffy, with every grain remaining separate, then I can teach you. But first you will have to make a promise, and that is to memorise three simple little words: leave it alone!
6-8Chilled Yoghurt and Cucumber Soup
This deliciously light and subtle soup is incredibly easy and quick to make. However it does need some fresh British cucumbers and not the rather tasteless imported ones.
Serves 6-8Carrot and Artichoke Soup
I love serving this, one of my most favourite soups. First, it has an extremely rich, beautiful colour, almost saffron I would say. And second, people can never quite guess what it is. Jerusalem artichokes don't look user-friendly, but...
Serves 16Hot Spiced Cider with Roasted Apples
A glass of something warm and spicy goes very well with warmed mince pies during the party season - even though we no longer seem to greet guests rubbing frosty fingers and shaking snow off their boots!
Serves 4-6Stilton Soup with Parmesan Croutons
Not simply a recipe for leftover bits of Stilton, this one, but a delicious creamy soup that can enhance any dinner or supper party. Be careful not to boil the soup when re-heating.
Serves 2Sicilian Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes and Aubergines
Aubergines, tomatoes and Mozzarella are the classic ingredients of any classic Sicilian sauce for pasta, and roasting the tomatoes and aubergines to get them slightly charred adds an extra flavour dimension.
