Books for Prep: The Gate Easy Vegetarian Cookbook

Some cooks believe that the words “easy” and “vegetarian” just don’t go together. The chef-proprietors of London’s famous Gate Restaurant prove how wrong that idea can be with an impressive collection of their simplest recipes—luscious and amazingly varied dishes made with just a few easily accessible ingredients. The menu includes Italian polenta chips, Eastern European blinis, Middle Eastern tabbouleh, Indian bhel poori, and Asian rice paper spring rolls, among many others. There are fusion dishes such as grilled eggplant with lemongrass salsa, flatbread pizzas, and butternut squash and cauliflower samosas. As more and more people decide to go vegetarian (whether full-time or part-time), the Daniels make it easier, and more deliciously tempting, than ever before.
