2005 James Beard Award Nominee - Vegetarian


The best vegetarian cookbook, from the greatest vegetarian chef. This is not only the best vegetarian restaurant in Ireland, but one of the best restaurants of any kind. So states Frommers in their 2003 Guide to Ireland. Cafe Paradiso is an unassuming little restaurant in the heart of Cork City in Ireland yet it has been hailed far and wide as the best vegetarian restaurant in Europe and so is a contender for the best vegetarian restaurant in the world. Fodors claims it serves Mediterranean-style food, which is so tasty that even dedicated meat-eaters forget it's vegetarian.

The reason for all this praise is the owner and chef, Denis Cotter, a quiet unassuming man, not unlike his restaurant, who, like all great chefs, is an obsessive. His obsession is to create the most exciting vegetarian dishes possible with the freshest possible produce, an ambition he has realized with remarkable success. In this book he serves up 140 recipes that make the very best of whatever vegetables are freshest at any given time of the year. Cotter's The Cafe Paradiso Cookbook has been hailed, in the Bridgestone Guide to Ireland, as the best cookbook ever written by a working chef.

Hidden away in Cork, Ireland, Café Paradiso is considered to serve the best vegetarian cuisine available today. Fortunately for those who live across the pond, renowned chef Denis Cotter has written Café Paradiso Seasons, offering fine vegetarian fare for every season. This cookbook contains 140 delicious recipes, such as:
• Spring vegetable and herb soup with fresh goat cheese ravioli
• Grilled halloumi with lime and mint
• Parmesan and chili polenta
• Chocolate pecan pie, whiskey ice cream, and darling clementines
• And many more!
This is the ideal cookbook for vegetarians who are looking to challenge themselves with tasty recipes that will charm even the most staunch meat eater. Café Paradiso Seasons was also the winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for Best Vegetarian Cookbook in the World in 2003.
