H we accept that all creation is His, then we need ‘to celebrate his creation, not harm it. A vegetarian diet that holds all fe to be sacred isa first step on our journey towards God realisation. With a commitment to being vegetarians —eating no animal products, Including meat, fish fowl, eggs and anything ‘that contains their by-products—we are making a clear and sigfican statement that ‘our priority isto honour God and his creation. We are saying that Instead of Iving in ‘8 world of exploitation, we are living in a world of love. ‘As vegetarians we are practising a lifestyle of compassion and kindness, not only in our persona fe but aso in relationship to the Me ofthe planet. A vegetarian diet makes leas of a negative impact on the resources and health of the earth and helps support ‘the ethical treatment of animals. Positve moral choices have significance far beyond ‘our own personal horizon, ‘When life is full of responsibilities and too overwhelming, we need to find those activities that can give us a sense of peace and calm. There Is something nurturing and satisfying about preparing a meal for loved ones. Even taking a litle time to cook for ‘ourselves can dissolve the stress of the day and give usa sense of well-being that Is beyond the goodness ofthe food ital. ‘We lve in atime in which we are a risk of losing a sense of intimacy and connection Family meals ae atime to relax and enjoy each other's company and to nurture community and love. Cooking is a wonderful chance to cultivate these values and also to be creative and experimental therefore we have Included variations of some recipes to inspire a new culinary journey. We have tried to keep these recipes as, simple and easty as possible. ‘As culture within Britain has diversified, so to0 has its food. We have, therefore, included both traditional British recipes as wel as recipes that reflect the modern British population. These have been flavoured to embrace what we now consider to be British caste, Most importantly - enjoy!
