Persepolis : Vegetarian Recipes from Persia and Beyond
The appetite for new ways to brighten your broccoli, add sparkle to your spinach, and titillate your tomatillos has never been greater. Since opening a vegetarian café within her shop Persepolis, Sally Butcher has seen an explosion of interest in her Middle Eastern-influenced vegetarian dishes. Inspired by the food Sally serves up daily to her hungry customers, this sequel to The New Middle Eastern Vegetarian: Recipes from Veggiestan, ventures a little further from the Middle Eastern shores, deserts, and mountain ranges to other continents and beyond... Persepolis brings you the most outstanding (and fun) ways to cook without meat or fish, stopping along the way for a bit of sightseeing. Over 150 new recipes, including more vegan and gluten-free options, offer a fantastic variety of ideas for the vegetarian cook.
