---------------

Vegetables are the soul of the kitchen.

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.

This is a cookbook of great bounty, promising fortifying curries and stews, the warm embrace of aromatic fried bhajis and rich, satisfying desserts. For Ravinder Bhogal, food should be made and shared with abundance in mind, and this sense of pleasure is conveyed on every page. From Mango and Golden Coin Curry, Shiro Miso Udon Mushroom and Kale Carbonara to Strawberry Falooda Milk Cake, this is food as pursuit of pleasure.

Ravinder is one of the best food writers in Britain today, and interwoven throughout these recipes are stories of a life led by the feel-good, life-enhancing power of vegetarian food.

Raw, modern and sensual, Comfort and Joy applies Ravinder's creative ingenuity to approachable veg-centric recipes for home cooks. The vegetarian option will never again be relegated to second choice.

Ravinder Bhogal

Born in Kenya, to Indian parents, Ravinder Bhogal’…

It's global and it's fun and inspiring … I think [Ravinder] has a lot in common with Nigella Lawson, in terms of embracing the joy and sensuality of food, and that also comes across in the photos … It's a really exciting book.

The Washington Post, Best Cookbooks of the Year
It's one of those books in which I immediately marked more than a dozen recipes to try, and the first on my list amazed me with its brilliance … [the Cacio e Pepe soup] was magic.

Joe Yonan, The Washington Post
These indulgent recipes elevate vegetables to star status... Bhogal's meticulous, beautifully written recipe notes bring childhood memories of family meals to life and relate the joy of meat-free cuisine for all home cooks. This is a winner.
