just 120 vegan recipes that have stood the test of time from award-winning food writer Georgina
Hayden currently appearing on Channel 4's The Great Cookbook Challenge Nistisima means fasting
food - food eaten during Lent and other times of fasting observed by those of Orthodox faith.
Mostly this involves giving up meat and dairy and instead using vegetables pulses and grains
to create easy delicious dishes that all just happen to be vegan. In this book Georgina draws
on the history and culture around nistisimo cooking in the Mediterranean Middle East and
Eastern Europe to share the simple nutritious and flavour-packed recipes at the heart of the
practice including: · Salatet malfouf cabbage slaw · Briam ('Greek ratatouille') · Pumpkin
raisin and harissa pie · Kibbet el raheb 'monks' soup' · Jewelled lentil moutzentra · Rizogalo
rose rice pudding with roasted strawberries · Moustokouloura spiced grape honey and chocolate
biscuits Whether you're vegan vegetarian or simply want to eat more plant-based food
Nistisima offers you tried and tested recipes that celebrate the very best of this tradition -
all bursting with flavour and all surprisingly vegan. _____________________________
