Global Vegetarian Cooking: Quick and Easy Recipes from Around the World, (Paperback)

The flavorful vegetarian cuisine of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean is highlighted in more than 130 quick and easy recipes and nearly as many evocative color photographs of the diverse food and the people who produce and eat it. Here are fresh, simple, nutritional ideas for any time of the day or year. Enticing recipes for salads, snacks, soups, main dishes, sides, desserts and drinks are exotic but uncomplicated - often taking less than ten minutes to prepare from start to finish and using fewer than five easy-to-find ingredients. Recipes include: Avocado Salad with Ginger from the Ivory Coast Carrot; Tomato and Orange Soup from Central America; Bean, Cheese and Tomato Pancakes from Argentina; Glazed Onions with Raisins from Morocco; Savory Rice with Nuts and Dried Fruit from India; Noodles with Ginger from Thailand; Peanut Cookies from Guadeloupe; Sweet Couscous from North Africa.; and many more. Tantalizing, healthful, and low-fat, Global Vegetarian Cooking is a bountiful collection of easily prepared, international dishes to inspire any cook - from beginner to accomplished chef. More than a cookbook, it will stimulate our taste buds as we learn about people and culture through food. A helpful vegetarian nutrition guide, food glossary, vegetarian meal planning tips, pantry list, and regional and ingredients indexes further enhance this easy and inviting collection. Troth Wells is the acclaimed author of several cookbooks, including The Spices of Life and One World Vegetarian Cookbook.
