My husband became pescetarian a few years ago and now wants to be vegetarian / poss vegan eventually - for health benefits but also concerned about animal welfare etc.

I would love some inspiration from those who've tried and tested many veggi recipes, as I often get stumped and stick with my usual tomato and veg based pasta or cauliflower / mushroom curries.

Thanks!

Rose Elliot's 'Not just a load of old lentils' is a classic intro to vegetarian cooking from the 70s (still available on various resale platforms). If you like Italian cuisine there are a lot of Italian vegetarian options - Valentina Harris does a recipe for a delicious Ligurian spinach and ricotta pie, for example.

The Bosh! cookery books are excellent for vegans. Lots of ideas including for ringing the changes on basic recipes,  and you can always  add eggs, cheese etc to many of them if it's for a vegetarian (vegan cheese is vile imo).

There are a few River Cottage (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall) cookbooks focusing on veg and fruit.

Also lots of veggie  recipes online if you Google.

Stir fries are quick, easy and healthy and you can add seeds etc.

So are soups (in cooler weather 🤣),  you can add beans or lentils for protein and you can make in large quantities and freeze in appropriate portion sizes for later use.

Similarly with things like chickpea stews.

Also it is really easy to make hummus if you have a stick blender. Much nicer than most of the shop bought stuff.

Hopefully some of the above suggestions have been helpful?

Forgive me if this sounds rude, but Is it just me wondering why your husband can't do some research on veggie recipes and then try them out by  cooking them himself?!

There are loads and loads of veggie and vegan  recipes online, with comments by people who have tried them.

Does sound a bit rude to be honest. We have vegetarian and vegan recipe books and have tried some from online but over the years I've had some great recipes passed on from friends and family... and I love talking to people (online or in person) and so here I am chatting on a forum!

Thanks to everyone else for your tips and suggestions, I'm going to give a few of them a try!

🙂

P.S. my husband has done a ton of research but I'm adding to his collection...I find life is nicer that way Sue 😉

Got loads of veggy cookbooks but tend to go on line in particular BBC

Good reminder, I find BBC GoodFood recipes really helpful and generally pretty easy

Sorry if I offended you, but as your original post said you tended to stick with your usual veggie pasta and curries, and you said you often got stumped for anything else, I assumed you (and your husband) hadn't done much research or had any recipe books!

My apologies! Happy to lend you my veggie recipe books if you haven't already got them! As I said above, I find the Bosh books very good.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
