I am taking a break from cooking and developing recipes for my book and catching up on all of the new vegan publications. First up, East Meets Vegan by Sasha Gill. I couldn’t wait to dive right into this one. It’s filled with Asian inspired recipes, which is my most craved cuisine, but also the most challenging for me to recreate in my own kitchen. Until now.

Book report! Today I am writing about this new book, Tahini & Turmeric, by sisters Vicky Cohen and Ruth Fox of May I Have That Recipe? This is an exciting new entry onto the vegan cookbook scene since it is filled with all kinds of flavors and dishes that are not the “vegan cuisine of the moment” that has been filling the pages of the recent spate of cookbooks. I am talking about cardamom and pomegranates and Aleppo pepper and sumac. Not new to you? Well, if you read this blog, you know I keep my flavors pretty basic. So, this book is a challenge for my palate and my pantry but I have already made a bunch of recipes and I will definitely be making more.
So, another new cookbook! It’s called Happy Food by Bettina Campolucci Bordi of Bettina’s Kitchen. This book makes me happy because I am always looking for new ideas for combinations of ingredients that I haven’t thought of yet! And this book delivers. Maybe that is why it is called Happy Food!
