Recently, more and more people refuse to eat meat. Some do it for religious reasons, others for medical reasons, and still others for reasons they understand alone.
The transition to such lean dishes does not mean at all that the festive table for people who refused meat is meager, and the food is not tasty. In proof of this, below will be presented delicious and interesting recipes without the use of meat.
