The Vegetarian Life

<p>This book has been compiled by special and repeated request. Otherwise I should have hesitated to add to the already existing number of vegetarian cookery books. I</p><p> </p><p>t is not addressed to the professional cook but to those who find themselves as I did confronted with the necessity of manufacturing economical vegetarian dishes without any previous experience of cooking.</p><p> </p><p>An experienced cook will doubtless find many of the detailed instructions superfluous. The original idea was to compile a cookery book for those vegetarians who are non-users of milk and eggs. But as this would have curtailed the book's usefulness especially to vegetarian beginners the project was abandoned.</p><p> </p><p>At the same time non-users of milk and eggs will find that their interests have been especially considered in very many of the recipes.</p><p> </p><p>All the recipes have been well tested. Many of them I evolved myself after repeated experiments. Others I obtained from friends. But all of them are used in my own little household.</p><p> </p>
