A new cookbook from Leon is always something to celebrate. Leon Fast Vegetarian, created by Leon co-founder Henry Dimbleby and food writer Jane Baxter, explores the flavorful, vibrant meals that can be created from the wonderful range of vegetables on offer. Leon's 13 restaurants in the UK are all about delicious, healthy fast food made from sustainable ingredients and that's the philosophy at the heart of this book. Eating less - or no - meat has become key to the way many of us cook and this collection of more than 150 really simple recipes is a treat for vegivores everywhere. As with any Leon book, cooking is not about spending hours in the kitchen but bringing family and friends together with simple, gutsy, happy food.
