Amazon.co.uk Review
Madhur Jaffrey--who unorthodoxly still combines a career as one India's leading actresses and film producers with being a best selling cookery writer--broadens her culinary horizons in this comprehensive global tour. Having popularised Indian cooking with her previous efforts, the world is now her stage for this magisterial global take on vegetarian food. Flesh-free eating, drawing on a wide range of influences and culinary traditions, has never been a more mainstream part of the British diet eating and Jaffrey's book stylishly plugs into this. She deals with all the basic ingredients in turn--vegetables, beans, lentils and nuts, grains, dairy foods and flavourings, as well as soups, salads and drinks--together with advice on preparation and storage. The recipes, based on extensive travel and research, are simply laid out and easy to follow as food from Thailand and Tunisia, Italy and India, Mexico and the Middle East, all jostle for position in this clamouring world bazaar of wonderful tastes, entertaining anecdotes and practical tips. --Nick Wroe

 best veggie book I have January 10, 2008

This book is so comprehensive I actually felt sad reading it that probably most of the new things I will eat are here and I won't find this kind of thing again.
Covers recipes from many different areas, so don't assume this is similar to her previous Indian subcontinent based books.
Recipes are more really veggie by great making use of local specialities and this makes for some great tasting dishes that can be enjoyed by all not just put up with by the veggies.

I became a vegetarian around 4 years ago, mainly I searched through pages of books until I came up with veggie recipes. I then redsicovered an
Indian cookbook and stuck to the veggie pages. I really wanted to go beyond the usual rubbish that was offered, the broccoli quiches and
vegetarian lasagnes (they can be nice, don't get me wrong!). I found this book in the library and two years ago. After lending it for almost two months I bought it via Amazon and have
found it my most used cookery book of all time.
If you want more than the usual veggie offerings, try this, not only for the fantastic and varied recipes, but for the personal stories which
if you are a real foody, you will like. By the way, two of my fav cookery
books have no pictures, don't let that put you off. My versions of the recipes never look like the photos anyway!

This is definitely one of my best buys. It was recommended by a vegetarian friend and I wasn't disappointed. I have owned it for a few years now and have nowhere near tried everything (I tend to stick to old favourites) but if I'm seeking inspiration, then this where I look. What I also love is Madhur's advice on the storage and preparation of ingredients, and it is interesting to read about their origins. So this is also a useful reference tool. If I could only keep one book out of my entire collection (fiction or non-fiction) - I have a lot, I think this would be the one! Every recipe I have tried has been successful and is extremely tasty; guests I have tried recipes on love them too. Tex Mex chili is my long-standing favourite :o)

I have this book about 2 years now and it is defintely one of my favourites. It is extremely comprehensive and fun to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in vegetable cookery or a vegetarian. It is also quite vegan friendly.
