Help! Not sure whether to post here or in recipes but can anyone recommend recipe books/blogs for 5:2 veggie inspiration? DH is on 5:2. I join him half heartedly only because I can't be bothered to cook 3 meals of an evening but we are also trying to cut out meat in the week. Being a happy carnivore I am struggling for ideas... I like the concept but without some resources my veggie chilli and veggie curry rotation are starting to bore me... I looked on Amazon at the million or so books but would love to have some actual recommendations rather than just taking pot luck..
Thanks in advance...

Hi, flowerpower
Smile
Loads on the 52Recipes so you proabably don't need to buy a book.
The poster breadandwine is vegan and has posted several delicious recipes, especially curries.

Here are suggestions to have instead of noodle or rice:

Cauliflour rice
. Blitz a head of cauliflower in the food processer until it's vaguely rice-sized
. Add 1 or 2 tbsp water and a dash of salt
. Blitz in the microwave for about 5 mins on high.
. If not done, check after further 30 sec blasts

FD zucchini or squash "noodles"
. Spiralise desired amount of zucchini and / or squash
. microwave uncovered on high for 2 mins. If not tender enough, do 30 sec blasts and check after each
. drain spaghetti (the veg has water) and save liquid for any sauce
. add garlic salt and a dash of olive oil
