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!
Makes 3-4 lb (1.35-1.8 kg)Fresh Apricot Preserve
This is my mother's recipe, and every year she waits patiently for the price of apricots to come down – which usually happens in August, especially at the end of a warm summer day when whole boxes are sold off at the markets by stallholders at bargai
Roasted Stuffed Apples with Thyme and Parsley
This is the perfect accompaniment to Classic Roast Pork with Crackling, as the acidity of the apples offsets the richness of the pork perfectly.
Serves 4-6Dried Fruit Salad with Yoghurt and Nuts
This recipe is full of natural, good things – there is no sugar in it as I have come to the conclusion it tastes better without it.
Serves 3 as a main course or 6 as a starterCold Poached Egg Salad with Watercress Sauce
This is a kind of variation on the egg mayonnaise theme, but I think extremely attractive and even more delicious.
Serves 4 as a main course or 8 as a starterRoasted Vegetable Couscous Salad with Harissa-style Dressing
Goat's cheese, roasted vegetables, couscous and a fiery dressing combine to make this one of Delia's best and most popular recipes, perfect for a buffet or party.
Makes a 1 lb (450 g) loafWalnut and Raisin Bread

Serves 4Very Red Rice
This was a recipe created for Comic Relief, hence the title, and I always have a good giggle thinking back to the filming of those hilarious cookery demonstrations that were later screened on television. It's also an excellent recipe – good with any
Makes 1 large or 2 small loavesPlain and Simple White Bread
A good, old-fashioned, English, white, crusty loaf, soft inside and lightly textured, is still hard to beat – it's my own favourite for soldiers to go with softly boiled eggs, and the next day or the day after it always makes divine toast. Made eithe
Makes 3 pints (1.75 litres)Home-made Lemonade
Just lemons, sugar and water are needed to make what is possibly the most refreshing drink in existence...just remember to start it a day before you want to drink it, so all the flavours can combine.
Serves 6Eggs Mayonnaise
Not the kind you get in help-yourself salad bars and cafés – this is the real thing. Eggs, boiled – not hard, but with a bit of squidge at the centre – anointed with a shimmering, golden emulsion laced with a little garlic. I have to admit, this is p
