This book contains recipes from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. It's divided into appetizers, main dishes, salads & side dishes, and desserts. There's an amazing introduction in the beginning of the book, where the author explains briefly reasons for vegetarianism, the nutrients our bodies need and how to cook certain food. The author also adds cooking advices and a little bit of information about the country of each recipe. The recipes are well-described, though I find the preparation times a bit unbelievable. Or maybe I chop vegetables too slowly. Some of the recipes were also very similar (there are two chick pea stews, which don't really differ much and two vegetables in coconut milk recipes). But overall, these recipes were fun to prepare and have enhanced my knowledge of vegetarian cooking.

The recipes are tasty and very simple. I usually do not use this cookbook because I have trouble getting fresh enough ingredients to make these dishes shine.
