Simple side dishes, warming soups and colourful salads feature also; flavoursome recipes that are vegetarian or vegan, with no meat substitutes, and are suited to those following a diet rich in vegetables or those who simply want to eat meat-free on certain days of the week and are in need of inspiration.
