This World Vegetarian Day, which is marked every year on October 1, Gulf News Food brings you meat-free recipes that are full of flavour.

The day was established by the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS) in 1977 to help promote a meatless diet and spread awareness regarding the health and social benefits of cutting out meat.
