It was my birthday last week and I got a vegan cookbook from a dear friend.
I have already a few vegan cookbooks, but this one is a gem. It's written by Hema Parekh and covers more than 200 recepies from Asian countries.
Countries covered are: India, Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia and Korea. I have seen already quite some lovely recepies I'm going to try. I'm familiar with the Indian, Chinese, Indonesian, Thai and Malaysian kitchen ,but the other ones are new to me, and let be honest... You can never have too many cookbooks.
Hema keeps it very simple. She gives a clear list of ingredients, and simple step by step how to do it. The pictures are very well presented and makes you want to create that dish. At the back there is a very helpful Glossary of ingredients in case you don't know what some ingredients are.
Almost all of the ingredients can be bought in a good stocked supermarket. I had already a look in my cupboard and fridge to see if I have enough to make a few nice dished. I'm going Burmese tonight: Curry with split pea fritters and rice.
