Vegetarian quick and easy food book

Vegetarian quick & easy
Cooking from around the world by Troth Wells

The Guide to ingredients. Falafels in Egypt, stir fries in Singapore, guacamole dip in Mexico or spicy cashew nuts in Mozambique - there’s a wealth of exciting fast food around the world which could have transnational fast-food chains quaking in their boots. This is the latest food book from Troth Wells, following three others in the series which have run to many editions and been published in ten countries.

This is much more than a ‘cookbook’, this is a book about food, people, politics and pleasure. The introduction is an informative well-researched piece of work that taught me more about genetically-modified foods than any government ever did.

I think that what the author Troth Wells and the New Internationalist are doing by publishing this high quality, internationalist vegetarian cookery book is great, even revolutionary, and as a passionate vegan it is uplifting for me to see that it contains so many vegan recipes. I like hanging out with the kind of people that cook this stuff.
