Delicious vegan recipes celebrating the zaika or 'flavours' of Indian cooking that bring a renewed spiced excitement to plant-based food.

With a foreword by the Observer Food Monthly's editor, Allan Jenkins, ZAIKA celebrates the very best of Indian vegan cooking. With over 100 innovative and exciting curries, side dishes and drinks, vegan recipes have never been so inviting.

Inspired by her heritage, Romy Gill has expertly written a recipe collection that delivers incredible flavour and is simple to make. These dishes can be made in a hurry for a quick supper or leisurely at the weekend. Most importantly, they are a celebration of great plant-based food and a timely reminder of the benefits of a vegan diet - both for our health and our planet.

Fresh and original, this cookbook is a must-have for vegan and non-vegans alike.
