Veg out in India

EVERY now and then I come across an exciting food writer. I have just come across an Indian cook called Monisha Bharadwaj. I should have known about her sooner as she has written several award-winning books.

By sheer coincidence, on my return from India, there was a review copy of her new book, India’s Vegetarian Cooking on my desk. I flicked through the pages and was immediately gripped.

The majority of people in India are vegetarians and so the country is blessed with the most imaginative and tasty vegetarian cuisine in the world, which varies vastly from region to region.
