National Vegetarian Week 18th- 24th May
Leave the first response May 19, 2009 / Posted in NewsThis week is National Vegetarian Week in the UK. Running from Monday 18th to Sunday 24th May, the week is an annual event organised by the Vegetarian Society charity and being sponsored this year by Cauldron Foods, to highlight the benefits of following a meat free lifestyle.
To celebrate, there are events happening around the country including Vegetarian Cooking Demonstrations, a Cardiff Vegetarian Festival, meat free markets and free food tastings. Also, Something for the Weekend chef, Eccles cake fanatic and anti-Welsh cake vegetarian restaurant owner Simon Rimmer is guest chef at the Newcastle Festival of Food and Wine.
Even if you are not vegetarian, try some of the meat free recipes on the website, we think the Marinated Halloumi Cheese Skewers with Mediterranean Vegetables sounds particularly yummy.
If you are looking to try more vegetarian dishes, we have found some vegetarian cookbooks and listed them below.
