More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Bringing together over 220 genuine recipes, 'World Vegetarian Classics' is the definitive collection of vegetarian cuisine from around the globe. Organized by area, every continent is featured, and all the recipes are not just classic dishes of each area, adapted for the vegetarian, but historically vegetarian in their own right. Sensible to the difficulties facing the modern cook - an inability to source unusual ingredients or equipment and a lack of knowledge of traditional cooking methods - Celia has adapted each recipe so that it is suitable for today's kitchens. Feature spreads which explain the properties of some of the more exotic ingredients for each area, and interviews with internationally recognized experts where they share their tips on shopping and cooking, combine to make this book unique. Lavishly photographed and written with wit and enthusiasm, this sumptuous vegetarian recipe collection is set to become a classic, and core stock on the discerning cook's bookshelf.

Format:Hardcover
This is a great book full of interesting recipes - I've never before bought a cookbook where I wanted to make over half the recipes. Celia is brilliant, and although I tend to tinker with the recipes (I always do ..), they are mostly very simple, easy to follow, and often take very little time to prepare. The recipes are interesting enough to serve to non-vegetarians - my guests never complain about a lack of meat when I serve these sorts of exotic dishes.

I have mixed views on this book. It is quite americanised and while all the recipes I have tried have been great, I have really struggled to purchase some of the ingredients used. It's probably fine if you live in London and have access to markets/delis from all the different cultures but outside the city your shopping list can be hard work! Like I say, the dishes taste good though...
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I borrowed this book from the library and found myself cooking so many recipes from it that I decided to buy it. As a reluctant vegetarian who loves cooking casseroles and game, it has been difficult to find interesting but quick and tasty recipes not involving meat or fish. This book has them in spades. The recipes from all over the world, helpfully divided by geographical provenance and thoroughly tested, are accompanied by interesting information about the ingredients used and how they came to be used in Western cookery. A gem for anyone interested in cooking and keen to find recipes that work.

If like me you enjoy your cookbooks on both an aesthetic AND culinary level, this book is somewhat of a disappointment. Read more
