Description

The Global Vegetarian Kitchen starts in your back yard - perhaps growing your own vegetables and herbs or buying produce at your local farmers' market - then reaches around the world to bring the diversity and delight of vegetarian dishes into your kitchen. Whether you only have a windowbox with some herbs, an allotment, yard or other space to grow things, this is the seed that connects creative home-cooking to the traditional recipes that travel the globe, blending with local culture. With an emphasis on simplicity and versatility, you'll find it easy to create dishes such as bean bredie from South Africa, barley risotto from Italy, Nepalese lentil curry or lemon-grass scented Thai soup. All you need to do is stock up your spice rack and take your tastebuds travelling. There are Oover 100 easy-to-follow vegetarian recipes from all parts of the globe with full-coulour photographs, suggestions for substitute ingredients, useful facts and helpful hints, local ingredients and tips on sourcing fair trade.

Reviews

""The Global Vegetarian Kitchen by Troth Wells is a collection of fabulous recipes, many of which have been passed down generations, from across the globe. Brandishing the motto, Cook Global, Source Local, Wells had put together a fantastic four-chapter cookery book: Starters, Soups And Snacks, Main Dishes, Salads, Side Dishes And Sauces and Dessert, Drinks And Cakes. With a growing interest in vegetarianism and veganism, this book is a one-stop shop for all your gastronomic needs. The recipes, of which there are more than 100, are juxtaposed with colourful photographs, proving that there is more to eating than meat. The most delightful element of this book, however, is the short and sweet family and historic storiy behind each recipe. No matter your cuisine of preference there will be something from one of the continents to get your taste buds tingling." Charlotte Jones, Glam Magazine "This is quite possibly my favourite cookery book to hit the shelves this year." Charlotte's VVeb
