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. _____________________________ ' Mouthwatering recipes and beautiful
storytelling - I want a seat at Georgie's table.' JAMIE OLIVER
