Fabulous recipes for a National Vegetarian Week feast

Thanks to Jamie Oliver and Gillian McKeith, healthy eating is big news right now, and with The Vegetarian Society’s new recipes for National Vegetarian Week, meeting your 5-a-day target doesn’t have to be a chore! National Vegetarian Week runs from 23-29th May, so, get it off to a tasty and nutritious start with these fantastic recipes.

Jewel Green Rocket Soup with Parmesana Potato Polenta*
A stunning - but simple - soup served with the tastiest ‘dunkers’. Guaranteed to impress dinner guests, it’s also a perfect solo indulgence for lunch.

Smoked Garlic & Artichoke Risotto with Roasted Butternut Squash & Lemon Asparagus in a Balsamic Dressing*
Substantial, delicious and unbelievably low in fat, this risotto stands alone as a tasty family tea, but scrubs up well for company when served on a roasted squash with a side dish of lemon asparagus in balsamic dressing.

Quorn Burritos with Avocado Chilli Salsa*
Made with Quorn’s new Fajita strips, these healthy wraps have luscious lunch appeal, and will be appreciated by the whole family.

Smoked Quorn Tacos*
A lunch with crunch, this tasty take on a Mexican classic goes down very well alfresco style.

XXX-presso Chocolate Cheesecake*
A serious chocolate and espresso hit. Strictly for adults only, and incredibly, it’s dairy-free!

Gingery Fig & Rhubarb Filo Flowers with Passion Fruit and Berries*
An elegant, low fat dessert for those with a passion for style and content!
