GLOBAL VEGETARIAN COOKING

By Troth Wells

This slender volume, abundant with photos of succulent veggies and international market scenes, simplifies some of the most exotic cooking into easily prepared, essentially-flavored meals. The background information is an interesting read, and the recipes are good examples of world cuisines. This is a vegetarian cookbook, and it is vegan-friendly. My only criticism is that some recipes are too simple and don't render the complex, layered flavors traditional in some cuisines, such as Thai and Indian.

Global Vegetarian Cooking--Quick and Easy Recipes from Around the World (ISBN 1-56656-382-8) is published by Interlink Books. It is 176 pages and retails for $17.95.
