Review: This is a fabulous book and the recipes are low calorie but lack nothing in exquisite taste. I especially like the taste bombs which while being very low calorie really give a burst of flavour and liven up even the blandest tasting vegetables. I made all the flavour bombs and stored them in the fridge to use on fasting days and non fasting days. Celia really understand the meaning of delicious. Of the things I've tried I particularly like the romanesco sauce, the marinated tofu and the putanesco sauce which I use on potatoes as well as noodles. I love the Asian dressing. I have dozens of low calorie vegetarian books but none provide these surprising taste sensations> I also have celia's low carb vegetarian book which is equally ingenious and I would recommend whole heartedly. For those who are missing pictures, this book has many. I had already lost a stone using her low carb book which for convenience also provides a comprehensive nutrition profile for each recipe and in the last month I have gone down 7 more pounds with a bit of cheating. If you like tasty low calorie vegetarian , vegan food and want to lose weight you will not be sorry you have bought this book.

Review: I was interested in this book as seems exactly what our family had wanted. We had started the 5:2 diet with the excellent "2 day diet" book by Michelle Harvie and Tony Howell, but this only has a few vegetarian recipes. Unfortunately the 5:2 vegetarian book does have some problems. Although there are over 100 recipes, some of them are pretty basic - including one for a microwaved baked potato! We also felt more hunger pangs with some of them as they can still be carb-heavy (baked potato being as prime example). The 2 day diet approach is to include much more protein in the form of eggs, nuts and tofu etc and this does seem to be more satisfying. Have said that there are some excellent ideas in here and useful tips too. Favourites include the caponata "flavour bomb" and the use of sauerkraut and tinned artichokes as low calorie bulk foods. So, not perfect but a useful addition to a 5:2 vegetarian kitchen.
