Here is a wonderful collection of vegetarian recipes compiled by Madhur Jaffrey's Cookbook titled....
World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking
This soft cover book is a 4th printing from 1983 and is in good used condition for its age with some wear to the front and back covers and edges' from use and re-shelving. On the front cover of the cookbook--specifically in the green blouse area of the woman--it looks like someone had a piece of paper on the book and was trying to get a pen to work so there is no ink, but an indentation in the cover. INSIDE there is an old price on the first blank page of the book. Otherwise the pages are at least 98% free of any marks, stains or writing.
All I can say is don't be intimidated by the spice lists. It makes the ingredients and recipe look twice as long and complicated as it really is.
Whenever I need a shot of inspiration to get me out of a culinary rut, this is a great cookbook! Not only is it jam-packed with all the recipes needed to serve up an endless variety of flavorful vegetarian menus, but it is an invaluable source of ideas for things to serve with non-vegetarian entrees. Potatoes With Whole Spices and Sesame Seeds gets dished up with steak or roast in our home, and I have even served it for breakfast. Green Beans with Sesame Paste and Garlic graced our Thanksgiving table, and Carrot Cake With An Indian Flavor is likely to turn up instead of brownies or cupcakes when the baking frenzy comes over me. All of the chutneys and relishes are fabulous, but I am particularly fond of the Apricot Chutney with Raisins and Currants and the South Indian Coconut Chutney. This is a great book for anyone who loves delicious, interesting, satisfying food, whether you are a vegetarian or not.
