Saffron Soul Summary

Saffron Soul: Healthy, vegetarian heritage recipes from India by Mira Manek

Mira Manek's celebrates her family's heritage and traditions in this delicious and enchanting take on Gujurati Indian food, rich with beautiful dishes and reminiscences of Manek's family roots.

Indian food is an internationally popular cuisine, yet, unfairly, it is often considered to be heavy, rich and indulgent. With more people than ever before turning to healthy home cooking there has never been a better time for a fresh and lighter take on Indian food - one that Mira is creating with her vibrant and healthy cooking style.

Inspired by her mother and grandmother's cooking, Mira Manek's style of food is a modern interpretation of the Indian classics, creating utterly delicious and naturally healthy dishes. Whether you want to cook a Saffron & Lime Chia Pot, an Indian Summer Salad, a Thali, a Masala Almond Milk or a Mango Shrikhand Cheesecake, Saffron Soul combines the best of the core elements of Indian cooking with original health-promoting twists.

As well as offering the best and most naturally healthy Gujarati recipes, Mira also recreates some perennial favourites, replacing traditionally used grains and sugar with more nutritious ingredients such as millet, chia and jaggery, and cutting down on oils and fats, to make her dishes even healthier.

hether cooking a filling spicy curry, a soulful brunch, a nutritious light meal or a luscious dessert, Mira's dishes vibrantly burst with colour and a richness of flavour and spice, each fit for a feast.

'Delicious and delightful. This is gorgeous food. Food which is brimming with flavour and goodness, and beauty. I LOVE THIS BOOK!' * The English Kitchen *

'Anyone interested in vegetarian, vegan and healthy eating and cooking will be inspired by Manek's vibrant debut. She has taken Indian cooking traditions and bought them up to date by incorporating ingredients and modern nutritional insight.

You won't find fried bhajis or highly sweetened desserts and chutneys but instead you'll marvel at all the wonderful things that you never knew you could do with fresh fruit, vegetables, grains and pulses and you'll become more familiar and comfortable using a wide array of Indian spices.

This is an impressive debut by Manek and a must-own for anyone interested in heritage Indian cuisine or expanding their vegetarian repertoire and indeed their palate.'
