Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Madhur Jaffrey--who unorthodoxly still combines a career as one India's leading actresses and film producers with being a best selling cookery writer--broadens her culinary horizons in this comprehensive global tour. Having popularised Indian cooking with her previous efforts, the world is now her stage for this magisterial global take on vegetarian food. Flesh-free eating, drawing on a wide range of influences and culinary traditions, has never been a more mainstream part of the British diet eating and Jaffrey's book stylishly plugs into this. She deals with all the basic ingredients in turn--vegetables, beans, lentils and nuts, grains, dairy foods and flavourings, as well as soups, salads and drinks--together with advice on preparation and storage. The recipes, based on extensive travel and research, are simply laid out and easy to follow as food from Thailand and Tunisia, Italy and India, Mexico and the Middle East, all jostle for position in this clamouring world bazaar of wonderful tastes, entertaining anecdotes and practical tips. --Nick Wroe Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A fabulous mix of veggie dishes from the world overI bought this book years ago, eight to be precise, and it has travelled with me to India and Dubai constantly being used to the point I need to cover it with plastic it is so messed up. I enjoyed cooking the dishes I have tasted all over Asia. My only criticism is that I wanted to be able to index the recipes with the hindi names for dishes from this country but it hardly matters. I have copied recipes to give to friends who have never heard of some of the food and they too have had fun cooking new flavours.I dont need pictures - I love to experiment listening to sounds the names of the veg and spices. Who needs meat with these kinds of recipes to hand. Rating: - best veggie book I haveThis book is so comprehensive I actually felt sad reading it that probably most of the new things I will eat are here and I won't find this kind of thing again. Covers recipes from many different areas, so don't assume this is similar to her previous Indian subcontinent based books. Recipes are more really veggie by great making use of local specialities and this makes for some great tasting dishes that can be enjoyed by all not just put up with by the veggies. Rating: - Around the WorldJaffrey is a author of outstanding cookbooks, often focusing on Indian cuisine. "World Vegetarian" covers well over 200 vegetable recipes from around the world. World recipes are well represented from Cyprus,Greece, Jamaica,Italy, Trinidad, Japan, France, Morocco,Mexico, United States,Costa Rica, Korea, Cuba, Indonesia, Africa.Using different cultures dishes there are endless ideas for use of foods for a very good diet. Rating: - My Veggie BibleI became a vegetarian around 4 years ago, mainly I searched through pages of books until I came up with veggie recipes. I then redsicovered an Indian cookbook and stuck to the veggie pages. I really wanted to go beyond the usual rubbish that was offered, the broccoli quiches and vegetarian lasagnes (they can be nice, don't get me wrong!). I found this book in the library and two years ago. After lending it for almost two months I bought it via Amazon and have found it my most used cookery book of all time. If you want more than the usual veggie offerings, try this, not only for the fantastic and varied recipes, but for the personal stories which if you are a real foody, you will like. By the way, two of ... Read More: Rating: - This is my bibleThis is definitely one of my best buys. It was recommended by a vegetarian friend and I wasn't disappointed. I have owned it for a few years now and have nowhere near tried everything (I tend to stick to old favourites) but if I'm seeking inspiration, then this where I look. What I also love is Madhur's advice on the storage and preparation of ingredients, and it is interesting to read about their origins. So this is also a useful reference tool. If I could only keep one book out of my entire collection (fiction or non-fiction) - I have a lot, I think this would be the one! Every recipe I have tried has been successful and is extremely tasty; guests I have tried recipes on love them too. Tex Mex chili is my long-standing favourite :o) |
