About this deal

It's strange that vegetarian food has a reputation in the West for being insipid fare, when every Indian knows its flavours can be explosive. Raw, modern and sensual, Comfort and Joy applies Ravinder’s creative ingenuity to approachable veg-centric recipes for home cooks.

I love dips, and when I read Ravinder's words 'I'll admit that I don't mind a dip over a proper dinner' I decided a dip had to be first (and also that I would embark on a mission to make her my friend. I must first admit I havent made anything from it yet, but the recipes look interesting, enticing and tasty. Im pretty good at gauging a recipe just from reading it so Im confidently judging this to be a good book based on having read through it.

There is so much I want to make and eat within its pages-from the okra fries with kale-the mango gold coin curry-the strawberry faluda cheesecake-and blissfully a whole chapter on Bread. This cookbook by Ravinder Bhogal is a fresh take on vegetarian and vegan cooking; not geared towards health or denial but indulging all the senses with a decadent global larder. In this book, Ravinder brings together her signature style of storytelling, with a collection of everyday vegetarian recipes that are elegant yet completely practical.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. I already have Ravinder’a other cook books so was quick to purchase this one knowing how much I love the others.

For Ravinder, food should be made and shared with abundance in mind, and this sense of pleasure is conveyed on every page. So it is not an exaggeration to say to say that the Burnt Courgette and Cardamom Dip with Crispy Capers (page 25 of the book) that I made this weekend is THE most delicious dip I have ever tasted. Ravinder Bhogal's Comfort And Joy is a revelation-you will never look at "the vegetarian option” in the same way after diving into her inventive, bewitching and mouth watering book. If the Jikoni cookbook was a feast for the soul, with its nourishing stories and aspiring dishes, then Comfort and Joy is a real feast for the body. For Ravinder Bhogal, food should be made and shared with abundance in mind, and this sense of pleasure is conveyed on every page.

And the recipe I’m delightedly sharing with you today is her Pea, Preserved Lemon and Mint Dip with Radish Salsa, which ticks all the boxes for me! From Mango and Golden Coin Curry, Shiro Miso Udon Mushroom and Kale Carbonara to Strawberry Falooda Milk Cake , this is food as pursuit of pleasure. Raw, modern and sensual, Comfort and Joy applies Ravinder's creative ingenuity to approachable veg-centric recipes for home cooks. Measurements are in metric or occasionally vague like "a thumb of ginger", or "handfull of cashews".

Comfort and Joy is a fresh take on vegetarian and vegan cooking; not geared towards health or denial but indulging all the senses with a decadent global larder. Born in Kenya, to Indian parents, Ravinder Bhogal's food is inspired by her mixed heritage and the UK's diverse immigrant culture. From the first page to the last, every dish looks mouth-wateringly delicious and I have tasted a few!

I was certainly hooked immediately by both the beauty of the writing in the introductory chapter, the opening words of each chapter and the first dish I tried. Ravinder Bhogal's Comfort And Joy is a revelation-you will never look at "the vegetarian option" in the same way after diving into her inventive, bewitching and mouth watering book.

This is a cookbook of great bounty, promising fortifying curries and stews, the warm embrace of aromatic fried bhajis and rich, satisfying desserts.
