Physician and plant-based artist/creator Dr. Sheil Shukla
celebrates Indian cuisine with 100 stunningly photographed vegan
recipes that utilize fresh, healthy produce to capture the indelible
flavors of India
"This is
wholesome, exciting cooking that just so happens to not include
animal products. You won't miss them."--The New York Times, A
Best Cookbook of 2022
"Cinematically
lit, larger-than-life images will have you eating with your eyes long
before the dal hits the pan."--NPR Books We Love
India
is home to a vibrant tapestry of culinary traditions--and to more
vegetarians than anywhere else in the world. It's also where Dr.
Sheil Shukla learned to love traditional Gujarāti fare, cooking
alongside his adored ba (grandmother) over summers in Mumbai.
During
his medical training, Dr. Shukla discovered the power of plant-based
nutrition to prevent and manage chronic illness--and so began his
mission to reinvent the classic vegetarian dishes of his heritage.
Plant-Based
India presents over 100 completely vegan recipes for shāk
(spiced vegetable dishes), dāl (legume stews), rotli (flatbreads),
bhāt (rice dishes), and more. From a comforting Pālak Tofu that
transcends dairy-based paneer, to vegan Nān, festive Navratan Rice,
hearty Dāl Makhani, and summery Chocolate Chāi Mousse with Berries,
these are recipes from the heart--filled with nourishing ingredients
at their seasonal best.
