Modern, vibrant, fuss-free food made from British ingredients but with an Eastern slant, East is a must-have whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or simply want to eat more delicious meat-free food.
Drawing from her ‘New Vegan’ Guardian column, Meera Sodha’s stunning new collection also features plenty of brand-new recipes inspired by a wide range of Asian cuisines. There are noodles, curries, rice dishes, tofu, salads, sides and sweets, all surprisingly easy to make and bursting with exciting flavours. Taking you from India to Indonesia, Singapore to Japan, by way of China, Thailand, and Vietnam, East will show you how to whip up a chard potato and coconut curry and a swede laksa; how to make Kimchi pancakes, delicious dairy free black dal, and chilli tofu. There are sweet potato momos for snacks and unexpected desserts like salted miso brownies and a no-churn Vietnamese coffee ice-cream.

More Meera Sodha deliciousness! As a previous reviewer mentioned, this is the UK version of the book. But I didnât have the patience to wait for the US version to come out because of how much I love Meera Sodhaâs style of food and cookbook writing! She has an easy, honest style that shines through in the headnotes, and she somehow makes exactly the food my family and I want to eat. The recipes are enticing and colorfully presented, with clear step by step directions. Iâve already made a few recipes – the chili tofu, kale…
