Season to Taste is a new recipe booklet focusing on seasonal, UK produce, and is launched during National Vegetarian Week sponsored by Cauldron Foods. Packed with scrumptious seasonal delights that cut down on 'food miles', the monthly recipes prove that you can look after your taste buds as well as the planet!

May's offering - Warm New Potato and Asparagus Salad - features English Asparagus (uniquely both grown and eaten exclusively in the UK), walnuts and goats cheese.

Free copies of the booklet, along with a wide range of other information and resources, are available by calling 0161 925 2000, or visit www.vegsoc.org to find out more.

Another new booklet 'Why it's green to go vegetarian', explains why vegetarians' meat and fish-free lifestyle reduces their impact on the environment through reduced greenhouse gases, water pollution and land use.

National Vegetarian Week is co-ordinated by The Vegetarian Society but includes events and activities organised independently by local vegetarian groups, eateries, schools and businesses across the nation.
