CLOSE5 Essential Summer Vegetarian Recipes
Pretty much every vegetarian is familiar with that awkward moment at a friend’s summer barbecue: the coals are hot and it’s time for some serious grilling, then out comes a tray stacked with beef burgers, sausages, steaks and chicken. “Where’s the veg?”, you ask, and your friend points sheepishly to a bag of sweaty supermarket bought salad, already wilting in the sun.

Don’t worry – we haven’t forgotten to keep summer special for vegetarians as well! The Gousto Cookbook is packed with a huge range of vegetarian recipes that our customers love. We’ve picked out 5 vegetarian recipes that you need in your life this summer below.
