Personal opinion:
So why am I discussing a vegetarian cookbook during Vegan Month of Food, you might ask? Well this is because I noticed that this is one of the most vegan friendly vegetarian cookbooks I have come across since I started to review cookbooks. This book has a lot of vegan recipes, which are bolded as vegan. And with other recipes there are notes that explain how to veganize a dish. Very helpful! There will be a handful of recipes that aren't suitable for vegans, but I was really impressed!
That being said, lets see what more this cookbook has to offer. There is a great variety of recipes in this book, including a chapter about cooking for friends. But also daily meals, soups, desserts, light meals and snacks. The recipes are easy and tasteful. There are a lot of pretty pictures in the book, all though not with every recipe. The only downside about the book is that once again, the recipes aren't made in 30 minutes. But there are a lot of recipes that have a lot of unattended time, so that is still easy for me. I surely will put this book on my wishlist, because it is surely worth adding it to my collection.
I already shared a recipe for Kerala Curry from this book, and in a few days I will share the recipe for lukewarm couscous salad with sweet potatoes and lime.
