Madhur Jaffrey's World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking

Madhur Jaffrey's World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking

Given its time and place, this is a pretty good cookbook. Very thorough. Especially imagining it as a counterpoint to the often overly cheesy (literal and figurative) vegetarian cookbooks of the 70s an 80s.

Still, at this point, I think her translations are more than we need (Bean Curd vs. Tofu for example) – and can make googling for variations a bit of a chore.

I love Madhur Jaffrey, but this isn't my favorite of hers.
