Summary: "Comfort and Joy is a fresh take on vegetarian and vegan cooking; not geared towards health or denial but indulging all the senses with a decadent global larder. This is a cookbook of great bounty, promising fortifying curries and stews, the warm embrace of aromatic fried bhajis and rich, satisfying desserts. For Ravinder Bhogal, food should be made and shared with abundance in mind, and this sense of pleasure is conveyed on every page. From Mango and Golden Coin Curry, Shiro Miso Udon Mushroom and Kale Carbonara to Strawberry Falooda Milk Cake, this is food as pursuit of pleasure. Ravinder is one of the best food writers in Britain today, and interwoven throughout these recipes are stories of a life led by the feel-good, life-enhancing power of vegetarian food. Raw, modern and sensual, Comfort and Joy applies Ravinder's creative ingenuity to approachable veg-centric recipes for home cooks. The vegetarian option will never again be relegated to second choice"--Publisher's description.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

From the IACP award-winning author of Jikoni , a cookbook celebrating indulgence in vegetarian and vegan home cooking.

"A total joy." -Claudia Roden on Jikoni
"Inventive, fresh, and deliciously irreverent." -Yotam Ottolenghi on Jikoni

It's well-proven that a diet centering fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, and nuts is healthier for us and our planet, but talks of decreasing global meat and dairy intake have for too long been tied to narratives of culinary sacrifice. Ravinder Bhogal, award-winning chef and self-described "half-woman, half-hummus," knows better. In Comfort and Joy , she radically reclaims vegan and vegetarian cooking in all its abundance, with decadent, craveable recipes that bring together crisp okra fries with curry leaf mayonnaise, earthy roasted beet salad with blood orange and creamy burrata, whipped feta with tomatoes confit, and so much more.

With Bhogal's creative, approachable, veg-centric recipes for home cooks, each recipe in Comfort and Joy is the key to a new culinary life where wellness and indulgence are allies, deep frying is vegetable baptism, and "the vegetarian option" is always first choice.

Includes index.
