Bringing together over 220 authentic recipes, this is the definitive collection of vegetarian cuisine from around the globe. Organized by geographical area, every continent is featured, and all the dishes are not just classics adapted for the vegetarian, but historically vegetarian in their own right.

Sensible to the difficulties facing the modern cook - an inability to source unusual ingredients or equipment and a lack of knowledge of traditional cooking methods - the author has modified each recipe for today's kitchens. Feature spreads which explain the properties of some of the more exotic ingredients, and interviews with internationally recognized experts who share their tips on shopping and cooking, combine to make this book unique.

Encyclopedic in breadth, intensely researched, and beautifully photographed, this sumptuous vegetarian recipe collection is set to become a classic reference work, and unending source of inspiration for the discerning cook.
