Written by a woman. Yes. Using seasonal local ingredients where possible. Yes. Nutritious and delicious. Yes. Environmentally friendly. Oh yeah.

Heidi Swanson's 101 Cookbooks blog is amazing. It's not just the food, it's the great pictures too. This gal manages to make vegetarian look and sound so enticing that you don't even realise that it's a veggie blog. And with meat production leading to rising prices for the basic staples that some of the world's poorest people rely on- maize, wheat and soy, for example, as we in the West now eat WAY more than the recommened 100g of protein a day that we are recommended, and a large amount of that is unnecessary animal protein, this is a resource that we could do with.

Not forgetting that for people on a budget, veggie tends to be much cheaper. You might have a few investment costs in some key herbs and spices, but that will still probably cost less that one person's meat budget over a fortnight...

Don't be fooled: this is about so much more than nut roast and tofu!!!
