Making use of the "Whole Earth" range of foods among other ingredients, this vegan, no-added-sugar cookbook has over 170 healthy recipes for first courses, soups, salads, main courses, vegetables, desserts, cakes, pies, biscuits and beverages. There are dinner party dishes, as well as quick suppers and plenty of puddings. There are adaptations of old classics, such as bakewell tart, florentines and peanut butter cookies, plus new recipes, such as banana ice cream pie with hot peanut butter sauce, eggless peanut butter souffle, hummus pie with sweet peppers and smoky baked bean cornbread pie. Menus for special occasions, including instant dinner parties, picnics and children's parties are also given. One useful section explains problem ingredients that are used even in some health food products, and suggests alternatives for those, like vegans, with specific food needs. Information and guidance are given about important food issues, including organic food, hydrogenated fats, irradiation and how to read food labels. The Whole Earth Company is a wholefood supplier in the UK, retailing through all major supermarket chains, as well as health food shops. Hilary Meth is the author of "Vegetarian Good Food Guide".
