Nut Roast

Was really surprised that one reviewer was disappointed with the Cashew Nut Roast in this collection of recipes.I have written out this recipe for countless friends and everyone loved it including non-vegetarians.I cook this roast frequently and always keep a supply in the freezer.

ALLERGIC DAUGHTER: MUM LOVES THIS!

I cook for a dairy, egg, fish and nuts allergic 3 year old and I think this woman is fabulous. Eventhough this is for veggies so has cheese etc in some recipes, many things don't ....AND THEY STILL TASTE GOOD! She also provides other suggested ingredients, like in her dairy and egg free choc cake which is a birthday LIFESAVER. I just feel she really thinks and tastes and experiments with her recipes. Eveything I have made by Rose Elliot has been fab.

Really disappointed....

I have had this book 2 years now and every time I takeit off the shelf I am more disappointed. I bought it on the recommendation of the first reviewer and couldn´t disagree more with their comments!

The format looks helpful with menu planners etc but much of it is unnecessary and crucially all the recipes I have tried are really disappointing - the cashew nut roast I made for Christmas day was dreadful and I have made lots of yummy nut roasts! One of the soups was ok...not a fantastic Christmas lunch!

The most disappointing thing is the book´s format.....not a single photo, so I think it depends on how you like your cook books because looking through the reviews of Rose Elliot´s very popular books (such as the Bean Book) the only negative comment seems to be lack of photos. I find they really help..they attract you to a recipe and give you an idea of what you are aiming for ...so maybe Rose Elliot is not for me....

an excellent selection of delicious festive veggie recipes

I have owned this book for several years now and I always turn to it at Christmas for inspiration. Rose Elliot provides five festive menus which you can mix and match or adapt using other recipes in the book or from elsewhere. Each menu has guidance for preparing and freezing items in advance so you can have a relaxing Christmas Day! The book also contains suggestions for starters, main courses, vegetable accompaniments and party food. The photographs show how stunning these dishes can look when prepared.
In addition, the recipes are delicious and will make for a truly special festive meal which is completely vegetarian. She also gives information about how to adapt some dishes for Vegans.
I couldn't get through Christmas without it.
