Comfort and Joy: Irresistible pleasures from a vegetarian kitchen

Product Information

For Ravinder Bhogal, food should be made and shared with abundance in mind, and this sense of pleasure is conveyed on every page. Raw, modern and sensual, Comfort and Joy applies Ravinder's creative ingenuity to approachable veg-centric recipes for home cooks. There is so much I want to make and eat within its pages-from the okra fries with kale-the mango gold coin curry-the strawberry faluda cheesecake-and blissfully a whole chapter on Bread. She has authored two books; her last Jikoni: Proudly Inauthentic Recipes from an Immigrant Kitchen , (Bloomsbury July 2020) won an IACP award for Best Restaurant Cookbook and was been shortlisted for the André Simon Award, and a Fortnum and Mason Award for Best Cookery Book .

Ravinder Bhogal's Comfort And Joy is a revelation-you will never look at "the vegetarian option" in the same way after diving into her inventive, bewitching and mouth watering book. This is a cookbook of great bounty, promising fortifying curries and stews, the warm embrace of aromatic fried bhajis and rich, satisfying desserts. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. And the recipe I’m delightedly sharing with you today is her Pea, Preserved Lemon and Mint Dip with Radish Salsa, which ticks all the boxes for me!I already have Ravinder’a other cook books so was quick to purchase this one knowing how much I love the others. 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. Ravinder brings the textures, colours, and tastes of this cuisine to life, adding surprising twists along the way.

I love dips, and when I read Ravinder's words 'I'll admit that I don't mind a dip over a proper dinner' I decided a dip had to be first (and also that I would embark on a mission to make her my friend.
