Saffron Soul: Healthy, vegetarian heritage recipes from India Kindle Edition

I have followed Mira's blog and instagram for a year or so now. Every dish I've made of hers is a big hit with the entire family, including my three year old twins.She has put together a talented team of artists who have filled the book with beautiful photography and cleanly designed pages. The recipes are easy to follow and full of flavor but not so complicated someone new to Indian cooking would be intimated. Her healthy approach to cooking has taught me a lot about balancing flavor with our diet's well being.I have just scratched the surface of this book but so far each recipe has been delicious. I look forward to digging into all the different drink, appetizer and breakfast sections. I just wish I had more time to dedicate to cooking.

This book literally changed my outlook on indian cuisine. Its healthy, delicious, and easily made. This author has done a stunning job considering its her first attempt. I've eaten traditional indian food, and have tried fusion food as well. I often find the traditional to be overwhelming, or foreign, and the fusion to be too forced - Ms. Manek shows us that using flavors of the old world, and imagining them in new ideas can be effortless, and inspiring! Recommend to anyone who is even remotely interested in cooking.

This cookbook is amazing, we’re going to put up larger spice racks to accommodate the amazing spices in this cookbook.

I LOVE this book. So many yummy recipes that I haven't seen elsewhere (and I collect Indian cookbooks). I love the Thali section.

LOVE this book!!!! Love the healthy tasteful recipes ... mira does an amazing job with using healthy ingredients in typical Gujarati Indian cuisine ... I love the dessert recipes as well!!! Can you please come to Atlanta and do an event ❤️

It's not easy to cook falvorful vegetarian meals but this book has allowed me to experiment with new flavors that are amazing and healthy to have as part of my daily diet. Thank you Mira for your delicious creations and sharing them via this amazing cookbook.

Mira's book is full of so much elegance, soul and culture. She brings a healthy perspective to a cuisine with such a rich heritage making it accessible to all. The photography is stunning and so engaging. Her recipes are delicious and sophisticated but not hard to make. I highly recommend Mira's book!

Indulge in creativity and this collection of beautifully portrayed recipes, spices and pairings.I cannot wait to continue exploring this book and sharing my next creations from your beautiful recipes!Thank you Mira!

This is truly a beautiful book full of wonderful recipes. Many of them are ones I know but could never recreate in the way that my mum or grandma made them. I’ve also never bought a book that I’ve used so often. I’ve already made at least 12 of the dishes and made them more than once. There are still many I want to make. My all time favourites are the saffron porridge and the cardamom and date mohanthal. If you have no idea what I’m talking about....buy the book and make them. The recipes are really easy to follow and really uncomplicated. Plus they are all a healthy take on all these yummy dishes I grew up with. The recipe for handvo was amazing, this is something I have tried to make several times before and I could never get it to the right consistency, I also used pre-bought flour whereas Mira’s recipe is from scratch - this was a total success this time round.

I have been following Mira on instragram and find her passion hugely inspiring. So of course, I just had to get her book!Firstly, what a lovely name - Saffron Soul. Imbodies the passion she has with her food career.The book is absolutely stunning and beautifully layed out. I love the stories in it telling the readers about her journey and also the insight into how she's been influenced. The lovely photos of her with her family members, especially her grandparents were so sincere and I can just imagine how proud they are of her 💛There are around 80 recipes in the book, split into sections such as 'Soulful Mornings' etc. Love this!I have already tried a few of these, the Mung Bean Rosti, Orange Chutney & Tamarind Salsa! OMG!Reading her recipes, I can see how carefully she has crafted each one and I am looking forward to trying more.The book is the kind of book that you can give to a teenager off to uni but also to your grandma too. Aswell as sending over to relatives in the Indian subcontinent. I don't think many cookbooks are like that. I am not sure if there are plans to have it produced in Hindi or Gujrati? It would make it so much more accessible to readers who are not as proficient in English but would love the recipes 💛

I absolutely love Mira's cooking and after a few visits to her cafe I had to have the book! So far I've made the rajma, and the hand and both have been absolutely sublime. The book also has the most beautiful photography and it certainly makes you want to try all the recipes in the book. Next up the saffron lime cheesecake :)

This book is EVERYTHING!!!!! A beautiful collection of healthy Indian recipes, rooted in tradition but adapted for the modern and health conscious Indian cook. Simple, easy to follow, enhanced by totally gorgeous photography that will have your mouth watering, and ultimately, a wonderful addition to your cookery bookshelf. Dont think twice. Buy it now - I'm so glad I did!
