London: parishioners publish vegetarian recipe book
Looking for inspiration for what to cook on meat-free Fridays?
Parishioners at Our Lady Help of Christians in Kentish Town, north
London, have come up with dozens of delicious ideas. Their
Vegetarian Recipe Book includes soups, starters, main courses and
sweets from Ireland, Scotland, Poland, Spain, France, Greece,
Iraq and more.
All the recipes were written and tested by the authors. The book is
being sold for one pound. All the proceeds will go to New Ways - a
charity which supports the St Paul's Missionary Community in
Turkana, North West Kenya, where there is a very serious
drought.
Fr Albert Salvans, a Westminster priest who used to work at Our
Lady Help of Christians is based at the mission. He reports
that they are helping to feed up to 10,000 refugees each
day.
One of the recipe writers, Bernardine Bishop, from the parish
Climate Justice Group, said: "We were wondering how we could help
the community in Turkana who are suffering from the effects of
climate change. Then it occurred to us that a vegetarian diet is
better for the environment than eating meat - and it fits in nicely
with the Bishops' advice to identify Fridays with Jesus in his
suffering and death by some form of fasting and abstinence."
Parish secretary Lyndsey Stiling, who worked hard to compile the
recipes, said: "I've really enjoyed doing this. I love cooking and
I'm looking forward to trying out the recipes. This little book
would make a nice stocking filler this Christmas."
