Vegetarian Menu Book

I am self declared foodie!
Having cooked out of this cookbook left-right and centre.. for over 10 years now, I can vouch for the Author's outstanding skill, mastery and tremendous passion for cooking. Each recipe is complete and foolproof. There's just no scope for any mistake once you take on this cooking bible.

The book is divided into 6 parts complete with a glossary and an index (which is a life saver!)

Part 1 outlines recipes "JUST FOR TWO" wherein the Author has given 8 COMPLETE menus that can never go wrong. I urge you all gourmets to try each masterpiece of the recipe from these. Special mention goes to Tomato Rasam, Mixed Vegetable Stew and Lemon Rasam.

Part 2 is dedicated to "FAMILY MEALS". Again 8 perfectly arranged menus each with a recipe each of salad, soup, vegetable, rice dish, bread and a side dish and of course a sumptuous dessert.

Part 3 is a set of 10 “PARTY SPECIAL” menus. There are menus for a light snack [tea-time] party, dinner party or a complete breakfast spread.

Part 4 is the “SOMETHING NICE FOR TEA” set of 8 menus. They are bakes and cakes and small snack menus divided into two parts- one for Sweet and the other for Savoury. Here you will find Indian as well as Western recipes e.g. cookies and doughnuts as well as pedhas.

Part 5 is all about "BREAKFAST IDEAS". Has 7 largish menus, again with a main dish, a side dish and accompaniment and a dessert.

Part 6 gives you a lowdown about “PICKLES AND CHUTNEYS”. There are some amazing chutneys and pickle recipes here. A must must must try!!

In conclusion, all I would say is – I picked out this book randomly. Did not know I was stumbling upon a treasure of the joys of cooking through this one. Anyone out there starting out to enjoy cooking and wanting to learn how to put together a great spread should go for this.

FIVE STARS.
