As cooks, whether that be in a professional or home kitchen, there is one goal that many of us are trying to achieve right now: to cook more sustainably, to waste less and to have a lighter footprint on our environment. To cook greener.

A big step in achieving this is for us all to make the step towards a more vegetable-led diet, and this book is packed with a mouth-watering selection of vegetarian recipes from around the world.

Whether it's a quick and simple dinner using whatever you might have at hand, or a weekend feast to show off your MasterChef skills, there is something for even the hungriest of carnivores in these pages.

With contributions from 10 MasterChef champions from around the world, recipes include:
Smashed broad bean and peas on sourdough with goat's cheese, dukkah and mint
Puy lentil salad with charred tenderstem broccoli and miso dressing
Aubergine schnitzel with fennel, chilli and yoghurt coleslaw
