The beginning of the book introduces the reader to the author's philosophy on vegetarianism and sets the context for the recipes to follow. Jardine outlines her intention to create accessible and elegant dishes that utilize a variety of ingredients including vegetables, eggs, and dairy. She also advises readers to understand each recipe fully before commencing cooking, highlighting that the same recipe can yield different results depending on the chef's techniques.
