About This Book

A practical vegetarian cookery manual combines an ethical introduction arguing for abstaining from animal flesh with hands-on household guidance and organized recipes for meatless fare. It offers kitchen and dining-room advice, suggestive comments, and recipe sections covering soups, vegetables and combinations, nut dishes, rice and macaroni, croquettes, timbales and patties, sauces, eggs, cheese, salads, savouries, sandwiches, pastry, breads and desserts, followed by menus and an index. The recipes avoid mimicking meat and emphasize palatable preparation of unadulterated plant-based ingredients, with tips on cooking technique, serving, and menu planning to sustain compassionate, practical vegetarian living.

CREAMED SALSIFY (OYSTER PLANT)

Remove the tops from 2 bunches of salsify, scrape and cut to shape, and put in a bowl of cold water containing some lemon juice, to retain the whiteness. Drain and put in boiling water, using enough to cover it, and let cook about three quarters of an hour, salting the water during the last half-hour’s boiling. Drain and serve with highly seasoned white sauce or parsley sauce made with the water in which the salsify cooked, with the addition of a little milk or cream.
