This is a nice cookbook for vegans who want to make somewhat authentic vegan Indian dishes. There are photos for maybe a third or a fourth of the recipes, though in my ARC the colors are so oversaturated that it’s hard to even look at them. I’m not sure if this is a mistake, if they ruin them on purpose so nobody pirates them, or if it’s just really bad design choices by the interior design team. In any case, I didn’t care for most of them.

I was intrigued by a breaded marinaded tofu sandwich with onions, tomatoes and a ketchup mayo mix that’s apparently a riff on a popular McDonalds sandwich in India. I wasn’t really drawn to most dishes though they sounded authentic and interesting. Most of the dishes are very high in carbs and many involve gluten like puff pastry, so the book wouldn’t be a good fit for my family. It will be great for vegans who don’t mind doing a bit of work for the recipes and who don’t have special dietary needs. There is no nutritional information for the recipes.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.
