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 2Asparagus Cannelloni
There are many ways to make the most of home-grown asparagus in May and June and this is one of the best: asparagus and pasta with plenty of cheese and a ready-made sauce. What could be better for an easy vegetarian supper?
Serves 6Asparagus and Cheese Tart
A simple but sublime tart' is how Delia describes this lovely tart, which is another mouthwatering way in which to enjoy asparagus, coupled with cream, cheese and eggs. Even the pastry has Cheddar in it for extra flavour!
Serves 6Apricot Hazelnut Meringue Cake
This lovely, cheap-to-make cakes looks really impressive and will be a huge hit with meringue fans! The ground hazelnuts add extra flavour and nuttiness. Great with a cup of tea…
Apricot Crumble Cake
Sponge base, fruit filling and crumble topping: this scrummy dessert doesn't know if it's a cake or a flan, but either way it keeps really well and is a good recipe to have up your sleeve.
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 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 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 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 8Anya Potato Salad with Shallots and Vinaigrette
Use new-season new potatoes for this classic salad, with crunch added from the shallots. Serve it with just about anything…
Serves 6 as a starter or 2 as a light lunchApple, Cider Salad with Melted Camembert Dressing
As Delia says, this salad is a good one for winter when the summer saladings are but a distant memory. Apples, cider and Camembert are just brilliant together, and this can be served on its own for lunch or as an accompaniment.
