🧵 2/ Plant-Based India: Nourishing Recipes Rooted in Tradition/ Dr. Sheil Shukla

A little while ago I reviewed From Gujarat with Love, a cookbook I fell in love with (https://mastodon.au/@LifeTimeCooking/110466347620082545). Today I have another cookbook based mainly around Gujarati food, and guess what!! I love it. 😍

This is the second of four Indian cookbooks I am currently reviewing.

Plant-Based India: Nourishing Recipes Rooted in Tradition, by Dr. Sheil Shukla
Published: 2022
Publisher: Affirm Press
Pages: 256
Price: Around $45AU, expensive for a cookbook these days, but always check around as prices vary. Ebooks can be cheaper.

99 RECIPES AND ALL OF THEM #VEGAN / #VEGETARIAN 💃 🎈 🙌 💯

Now, I am not such a fan of modern terms like #PlantBased, #ProduceForward instead of good old healthy eating terms, but I'll get used to it. And I understand the commercial aspect of cookbooks and target markets. And I will certainly forgive it for this book.

Dr. Shukla is a medical doctor with.a passion for nutrition. He focused on Gujarati food because that is his background, but also because it's simple approach lends itself to nutritious eating. It generally consists of a vegetable dish, a dal, a grain (usually rice) and roti, a wholemeal flatbread. So it is a great palette for interesting, tasty, fabulous plant-forward food.
