One World Vegetarian Cookbook

Book excerpt: One World Vegetarian Cookbook starts in your backyard--buying produce at your local farmers' market or perhaps growing your own vegetables and herbs--then reaches around the world to bring the diversity and delight of vegetarian dishes into your kitchen. Whether you have only a window box with some herbs, a small garden behind the house, or other space to grow things, this book is the seed that connects creative home-cooking to the traditional recipes that span the globe and blend with local culture. With an emphasis on simplicity and versatility, One World Vegetarian Cookbook makes it easy to create dishes such as Bean bredie from South Africa, barley risotto from Italy, Nepalese lentil curry, or lemongrass-scented Thai soup. All you need to do is stock up your spice rack and take your taste buds travelling. The culture, history, beautiful photography, and delicious recipes make this a truly wonderful cookbook. * Over 200 easy-to-cook vegetarian dishes * Clear, step-by-step cooking method * Personal recipes from around the world * Full-color photographs throughout * Food facts and a glossary of foods
