The Mexican Vegetarian Cookbook: 400 authentic everyday…

With a planet full of fruits, veggies, nuts, beans, and grains to choose from, there are lots of different ways to eat vegetarian—and there are hundreds of vegetarian cookbooks out there for the aspiring plant-based cook, offering thousands of meatless recipes. It can be overwhelming, whether you're a dedicated full-time vegetarian or omnivore looking to enjoy meatless meals once in a while.A vegan diet is a vegetarian diet—an especially strict one. Vegans do not consume animal products in any form. This obviously includes meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, and all dairy products, but lots of other foods include animal-derived ingredients that are not so obvious: gelatin, for example, is made from animal bones, and many wines and beers are clarified using egg white or a protein that comes from fish. Some vegans—but not all—also avoid honey and any foods that contain it. In 1974, the chef of a small vegetarian restaurant in Upstate New York hand-wrote, illustrated, and self-published a spiral-bound notebook of its recipes. Nearly half a century (and many, many printings) later, Mollie Katzen's "The Moosewood Cookbook" is an absolute classic, and one of the things that moved plant-based cooking into the American mainstream. The title of " The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook" absolutely does not lie: This comprehensive guide is our top recommendation. For creative Southern classics sans meat, the recently published " Vegetarian Soul Food Cookbook" is our favorite new book. What to Look for in a Vegetarian Cookbook Difficulty

As with all things kitchen-related, Martha Stewart’s guidance for meatless cooking is spot-on. The more than 200 recipes in this book are helpfully grouped into themed menus, which is a great help to choose a meal by mood or season. For example, the Fall Harvest Feast features stuffed acorn squash with quinoa and pistachios, plus mushroom, spinach, and scallion tart, while the Summer Farmer's Market Lunch offers smooth tomato gazpacho, and zucchini “pasta” with tomatoes and walnuts. Recipes such as ricotta pancakes with gooseberry relish create delicious ways to use fruits and veggies in early breakfasts, all the way until your evening dessert of meringue roulade with rose petals and fresh raspberries. These refined, elegant, and restaurant-worthy dishes will expand your horizon, showing vegetarianism goes way beyond basic salads. Margarita Carrillo Arronte; THE MEXICAN VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK; Phaidon Press (Nonfiction: Cooking) 54.95 ISBN: 9781838665265Beautifully designed, with an eye-popping cover and vivid photography throughout, The Mexican Vegetarian Cookbook is an inspiring addition to any home cook’s kitchen shelf. Gurbani's unique perspective creates some truly inspired fusion dishes, including breakfast naan pizza, aloo tikki arancini with saffron aioli, and pear-masala cinnamon rolls; all the recipes being meatless is merely a side benefit. We love the personal touches in the cookbook, like stories of the author's mother and how she inspired (and passed down) many of the recipes. The numerous sumptuous photos are another big plus, and they were shot by Gurbani herself.
