Comfort and Joy by Ravinder Bhogal

From the IACP award-winning author of Jikoni, a cookbook
celebratingindulgencein vegetarian and vegan home cooking.
It's well-proven that a diet centering fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, and nuts
is healthier for us and our planet, but talks of decreasing global meat and
dairy intake have for too long been tied to narratives of culinary sacrifice.
Ravinder Bhogal, award-winning chef and self-described "half-woman, halfhummus,a€ knows better. In Comfort and Joy, she radically reclaims vegan
and vegetarian cooking in all its abundance, with decadent, craveable recipes
that bring together crisp okra fries with curry leaf mayonnaise, earthy roasted
beet salad with blood orange and creamy burrata, whipped feta with tomatoes
confit, and so much more.
With Bhogal's creative, approachable, veg-centric recipes for home cooks,
each recipe in Comfort and Joy is the key to a new culinary life where
wellness and indulgence are allies, deep frying is vegetable baptism, and the
vegetarian option" is always first choice.
A total joy." -Nigella Lawson on JIKONI

JIKONI
"Displays the full range of [Bhogal's] 'lawless spirit,' in recipes that deliciously
combine her culinary heritage with the new possibilities from a global larder." -
