Plant-Based India: Nourishing Recipes Rooted in Tradition

Striking photography is the leading hallmark of this first cookbook from a physician, artist, and plant-based-eating advocate Shukla. A combination of lovely food layouts and color-coordinated chapters guide readers into the pages. Before delving into the recipes, Shukla highlights the benefits of a vegan diet and includes a chart to help cooks obtain proper nutrients. An additional chart describing the Indian pantry with flavor profiles, names, and helpful photos will be handy when visiting Indian markets. Blending a variety of inspirations but firmly rooted in Indian cuisine, recipes are unique and delicious. Brief introductions present the many regions and styles of Indian cooking and also offer a personal narrative that details how Shukla developed the dishes. From chutneys to desserts, all types of Indian dishes are covered as he stresses both uncomplicated and flavorful recipes.
