FAQs
Can I make these vegetarian recipes in a regular pot instead of a Le Creuset Dutch Oven?
Yes, you can definitely make these recipes in any heavy-bottomed pot or casserole dish that is oven-safe. However, the benefit of using a Le Creuset Dutch Oven is that it distributes heat evenly and retains heat well, allowing you to cook your meals to perfection. If you don’t own a Le Creuset Dutch Oven and are thinking about investing in one specifically for cooking these recipes, be sure to choose a size that works best for your needs.
Are all the recipes in this book vegan?
No, while they are all vegetarian (meaning they do not contain meat), not all the recipes are vegan since some may use dairy products like cheese or butter. However, you can always modify the ingredients as per your dietary preferences or restrictions.
