A Vegetarian Christmas – ‘Snow Problem!
Put some sunshine in your life this Christmas with a Caribbean inspired menu
From The Vegetarian Society
This
Christmas take your taste-buds on holiday with a Caribbean inspired
feast that’s sure to delight vegetarians and omnivores alike. Created
by the chefs at the Vegetarian Society’s internationally renowned
Cordon Vert School, the easy to prepare recipes prove that cooking an
exciting Christmas meal without turkey really is snow problem!
Melt
away the winter chill with Jamaican Ginger and Coconut Soup, then,
unwrap a Tobago
Parcel
- sweet potato, plantain, spinach and creamy melted
cheese encased in filo pastry and served with a sensational papaya sauce.
Accompanied by Black Bean and Yellow Rice Pitons, Jerk Vegetables and
a Mango and Tomato Salad, you’ll wonder why you haven’t had
a Caribbean Christmas before. End your meal with a rich Jamaican Rum
Cake served with a truly indulgent White Chocolate and Vanilla Sauce,
or experience the carnival of flavour that explodes with every mouthful
of Pistachio and Citrus Ice-Cream.
A
free recipe booklet featuring all the Caribbean Christmas recipes and
advice on catering
for vegetarians
over the festive period is available
from The Vegetarian Society, phone 0161 925 2000 and request your copy.
The booklet also offers a chance to win a two week holiday at ‘The
Lodge’ – the exclusive, vegetarian haven on the beautiful
Caribbean island of Grenada.
From November you will also find the recipes and information about the
competition at www.vegsoc.org along with traditional vegetarian menus
from Christmases past.
