Comfort and Joy: Irresistible pleasures from a vegetarian kitchen

Product Information

So it is not an exaggeration to say to say that the Burnt Courgette and Cardamom Dip with Crispy Capers (page 25 of the book) that I made this weekend is THE most delicious dip I have ever tasted. There is so much I want to make and eat within its pages-from the okra fries with kale-the mango gold coin curry-the strawberry faluda cheesecake-and blissfully a whole chapter on Bread. It's well-proven that a diet centering fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, and nuts is healthier for us and our planet, but talks of decreasing global meat and dairy intake have for too long been tied to narratives of culinary sacrifice. This cookbook by Ravinder Bhogal is a fresh take on vegetarian and vegan cooking; not geared towards health or denial but indulging all the senses with a decadent global larder.

Comfort and Joy is a fresh take on vegetarian and vegan cooking; not geared towards health or denial but indulging all the senses with a decadent global larder.Born in Kenya, to Indian parents, Ravinder Bhogal's food is inspired by her mixed heritage and the UK's diverse immigrant culture. With equal parts passion and precision, she takes ordinary vegetables, kitchen staples and a handful of essential global ingredients (I can never look back now that I've found Zaatar and Pul Biber), to create picture perfect dishes that pack a punch. With decadent, craveable recipes that bring together crisp okra fries with curry leaf mayonnaise, earthy roasted beet salad with blood orange and creamy burrata, whipped feta with tomatoes confit, and so much more, deep frying will prove to be vegetable baptism—and produce literacy prove to be the key to a new culinary life where wellness and indulgence are not nemeses.

I was certainly hooked immediately by both the beauty of the writing in the introductory chapter, the opening words of each chapter and the first dish I tried. It's strange that vegetarian food has a reputation in the West for being insipid fare, when every Indian knows its flavours can be explosive.For more details, please consult the latest information provided by Royal Mail's International Incident Bulletin. She has authored two books, including the IACP award-winning Jikoni and the Gourmand World Cookbook Award-winning Cook in Boots. This book is vegetarian, in that "not so as you'd notice" way that I love: you just want to make everything. For Ravinder, food should be made and shared with abundance in mind, and this sense of pleasure is conveyed on every page. I must first admit I havent made anything from it yet, but the recipes look interesting, enticing and tasty.
