'Anyone interested in vegetarian, vegan and healthy eating and cooking will be inspired by Manek's vibrant debut. She has taken Indian cooking traditions and bought them up to date by incorporating ingredients and modern nutritional insight.

You won't find fried bhajis or highly sweetened desserts and chutneys but instead you'll marvel at all the wonderful things that you never knew you could do with fresh fruit, vegetables, grains and pulses and you'll become more familiar and comfortable using a wide array of Indian spices.

This is an impressive debut by Manek and a must-own for anyone interested in heritage Indian cuisine or expanding their vegetarian repertoire and indeed their palate.'
