This volume presents the very best in vegetarian gourmet cooking. For those who wish to savour new recipes, new cuisines, new tastes and flavours, Asha Khatau presents this distinctive edition as the first in her epicure series.
Cuisines from around the world have been featured here for the vegetarian palate after ensuring that the authentic taste of each dish has been strictly preserved. The methodology is simple and accurate while great stress has been laid on proper, fresh ingredients.
Unlike other vegetarian cookbooks, this book treats each cuisine in a holistic manner, which allows for complete menus to be selected from each section. A collective section on drinks and desserts exists to allo0w the cook to choose what he/she prefers to complement the main meal.
It may come as surprise that Indian cuisine does not feature in this collection of world cuisines. The omission is intentional as vegetarian Indian cuisine forms the content of Asha Khatau’s second book.
