Vegetarian Dishes from Around the World

If your mouth waters at the thought of...stuffed eggplant in a bechamelsauce
-- mushrooms a grecque
-- crepes with asparagus or artichoke hearts
-- cheese curry
-- brandy snaps creme brulee
-- apple snow ...or any of over 250 other delectable dishes from Yugoslavia, Mexico, India, Russia, China, Sweden, France, or the Caribbean -then Rose Elliot's 'round-the-world festival of feasts is for you. This tantalizing book gathers the best of traditional vegetarian cooking from Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Asia (over thirty countries in all) to make possible menus of endless variety for vegetarians -- or anyone else who just enjoys good eating.

Choose from traditional continental fare (quiches, souffles, pasta, risotto, paella -- even pizza!) or sample a new recipe with an adventuresome combination of ingredients (orange and radish salad from North Africa, Welsh cheese sausage, Finnish mushrooms in sour cream). Included as well are...
-- appetizers soups salads side dishes
-- sauces dressings dips spreads
-- breads and rolls sweet and savory pastries...and a sinfully rich array of desserts, from Austria's classic linzertorte to England's favorite gooseberry fool.

Each recipe has simple instructions, takes a minimum of time, and makes the most of fresh, readily available ingredients. From the exotic to the homegrown, it's a healthy harvest of international delights.
