I bought 2 big cookbooks today this A long and messy business by Rowley Leigh (not a vegetarian book) both singed .
This the most expensive by a pound £26. I am not a vegetarian but I am a collector of cookbooks. This great book on one page is a very colourful picture of the dish on other side is easy recipe., things like carrot ,halloumi balls; cucumber and feta bruschetta; Turmeric lemon Vodka coolers ,aubergine Kuku,Pom-Bombe; loads of soups, breads,pastries salads to pasta, chocolate dishes.
This great time for vegetarians as in the last 5-6 ys things have grown wings. I can remember in 2005 when mother was in hospital all their was hot salads with wilted lettuce or chips. This makes healthy diet but also is not all carrots mushy peas but huge collection of interesting spice dishes that have wanting vegetables.

I am a huge fan of Sabrina Ghayour’s cookbooks.
Ever since I worked at waterstones and would look through her books (when I was supposed to actually be shelving them rather than reading them!), and then when I bought them all, her recipes have introduced me to flavour combinations I would never have put together.
I love her use of Persian and Middle Eastern ingredients, I think she is the reason I got addicted to dates, pomegranates and pomegranate molasses.
One you’ve got the basic store cupboard ingredients this book is a revelation for how to make an incredible array of vegetarian dishes that aren’t just the standard roast veg.
Sabrina’s books are now must buys! I have the physical copies and also the kindle versions because I simply love reading cookbooks so much.

Since I had heard so many wonderful things about Sabrina Ghayour's other books (it seems that when I talk cookbooks with people over Instagram, Persiana is often cited in people's top cookbook lists) I decided to accept the publisher's offer to send me a copy to try and review. When Bazaar arrived, I was instantly curious how a self-described "world's safest bet for winner of the 'Least Likely To Turn Vegetarian' prize" would come up with an entire cookbook of vegetarian recipes. While she says in the introduction that she has "written this book with meat-eaters in mind, because [she] feel[s] it is we who really need the most help and inspiration when it comes to preparing simple meals without meat, which have plenty of flavor and satisfy all at the table" I feel that as a vegetarian I could definitely use some help in this department too! Even after a decade of meatless-eating I'm still finding that I need inspiration on how to serve easy, delicious meals to my all vegetarian family. What started off as my husband and I eating mainly block cheese, pasta, and tofu has turned into a family of three where I need to remember that there are vegetables in "vegetarian."
Ghayour takes her inspiration from the traditional markets (for which the Persian word is "bazaar") of the Middle East because this is where produce is fresh and vibrant. Nothing fancy, trendy, or gimmicky. I really appreciated Ghayour's view of home cooking because, while the ingredient lists and recipes provide a guide, she doesn't want home cooks to stress about getting the recipe perfect but, instead, to find pleasure in food and make the recipes their own. For those who are curious -- there is no extra index for people looking to find out which recipes are vegan, but the book is full of vegan-suitable dishes. Some of the recipes are already vegan while some may need simple substitutions (for example dairy or eggs). I was able to easily source all the ingredients in my local markets and grocery stores (for anyone worried that they might encounter tofu, this is a tofu-free vegetarian cookbook).
Bazaar is organized into 9 chapters: Light Bites & Sharing Plates, Eggs & Dairy, Soups & Bowl Comfort, Pies, Breads & Pastries, Salads for All Seasons, Moreish Mains, Cupboard Sustenance, Spectacular Sides, and Sweet Treats. I really appreciate the diversity of the recipes -- fresh salads to celebrate the hottest summer days, warming soups and comfort foods for the coziest winter dinners, fun treats to enjoy with a coffee -- a little something for everyone! Aside from the recipes that required yeast and time to rise, none of the recipes took overly long to prepare. Most dishes in Bazaar would be perfect for a weeknight meal or a "Meatless Monday."
After cooking almost a dozen recipes from Ghayour's Bazaar, I'm not sure if there's anyone -- devoted meat-eater or otherwise -- who wouldn't find this book completely delicious! Each recipe I served my family offered new takes or techniques on popular recipes. Take her recipe for World's Best Toastie -- a grilled cheese that's been reimagined using grilled halloumi, harissa, honey, tomatoes, and her "Shaken" Sweet Quick-Pickled Onions. When I first tried the recipe, I had no bread, so I used flatbreads and the result was the same -- a much more filling and tasty sandwich. It checked all the boxes -- sweet, salty, a bit spicy, and so juicy. I think everyone wanted a second sandwich! And, it was with this recipe that I found another recipe that's been on constant repeat in my kitchen -- the shaken onions. While most quick-pickled onion recipes require you to prepare a vinegar/sugar mixture to immerse the onions in and let them sit for awhile, Ghayour's "shaken" version is so quick because all you do is add onions to a jar with a bit of vinegar, sugar, and salt, seal the jar and shake vigorously for a couple minutes. Then the pickled onions are ready to enjoy -- which we did on the sandwich and in many other dishes from salads to pastas.
Many of her recipes focus on convenience -- such as using basmati rice in her take on a risotto. I didn't mention to my husband that I was making the Lemon, Black Pepper, Pecorino & Cabbage Rice (she took a favourite dish -- spaghetti cacio e pepe for inspiration) because I knew if he heard there would be cabbage and cheese in a dish he would prefer plain with a heavy dose of soy sauce he'd convince me to make it his way (I'm a total sucker for what my daughter calls "the cutie eyes" -- so if one of them turns their cutie eyes on me I'm a goner!). Instead of following the recipe exactly, I found that I completed most steps in my trusty Instant Pot and the resulting risotto was phenomenal! Truly! Even my "I'd rather have plain rice" husband came back for another big helping.
Oftentimes I feel like people shy away from recipes that involve dough because it seems too difficult or time consuming. Some of my favourite recipes in Bazaar are the dough-based ones. From the Date-Stuffed Naan to the Za'atar-Rubbed Pittas (not to mention those delightfully buttery Baklava Buns) I found recipes that I'd make again and again. The texture of the breads is soft and enticing -- I think one of my husband's favourite recipes that I've made him (ever) are the Za'atar-Rubbed Pittas. Ghayour's dough recipes are easy to mix and knead together and offer the perfect opportunity for novice bakers to practise their skills. Even if you're a little short on time there are recipes such as the Potato, Scallion & Goat Cheese Hand Pies that use store-bought puff pastry. So, if you're looking for something to quickly make for snack or meal then you don't have to start from scratch with the dough. And, after trying these I can see all sorts of filling combinations I can try using her recipe as the base.
Salad is almost synonymous with being a vegetarian. And, while Ghayour's Bazaar goes to prove that vegetarian cuisine is so much more than just that, the salads she's created for the book are really spectacular. She takes the most basic spinach salad and by adding grated zucchini, fresh peas, and toasted seeds dressed in a preserved lemon dressing she offers something deliciously different. Even a beet and goat cheese salad is given a little zing by rolling the goat cheese in za'atar seasoning and adding some blackberries. The Blackberry, Beet & Za'atar Goat Cheese Salad is such a colourful dish! I was able to pick up all the salad ingredients at the market and even the zucchini (which I would have roasted) was given a bit of a different treatment because Ghayour's recipes really celebrate the glory of using fresh produce.
At this point in the year, I've cooked from and reviewed almost 3 dozen cookbooks and I would happily place Bazaar in my top five books of 2019! The recipes appeal to anyone regardless of their dietary preferences and the food is so delicious! Even as I wrote my review, I was making the Rice & Vegetable Aash w/ Puy Lentils for dinner and my 5-year-old claimed, "this is the best soup you've ever made!" Ghayour's recipes have given my family so much pleasure!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Manda Book Group and Mitchell Beazley for providing me with a free, review copy of this book. I did not receive monetary compensation for my post, and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

I have this out from the library and have made a couple of the recipes in it (Sweet potato and lime soup, Cabbage & sesame salad) which were excellent. However, the "Sweet Treats" section is not as appealing as the rest of the book -- this seems to be a cook who really isn't into dessert, and I kind of wish that she'd left that section out. I did try the baklava buns, but as an experienced baker directions seemed not quite right to me -- I proofed the buns before putting them in the oven, and cannot imagine why you would need to bake them on two separate baking sheets. I put them all on one and there was more than enough room between them. The results were nice but rather bland.
Anyway, it's an excellent cookbook if you skip the last section.

Another lovely cookbook by Sabrina Ghayor, I’m already planning some delicious veggie nights!
August 29, 2019
I wanted to like this cookbook, but have to give it mixed reviews, If you are wanting to get clear, actionable, well-tested and complete recipes, this is not such a great book. I am an experienced home cook who is working to increase my familiarity with Persian flavors, which I love. The first recipe I tried gave overly vague coaching on the basic salt and pepper seasoning (you are told to "salt generously" at 2 different steps, and can end up with an overly salty, unfixable dish), and there seems to me no reason not to offer basic guidance on that (more standard language like "1/2 t salt; add more at end of desired").
That said, the ideas on how to use flavors together are great. The hardback book is a work of art -- gorgeous cover, beautifully composed photos, great paper weight and finish. It would make a lovely gift to an experienced cook, but isn't a good choice for a novice.

Many of these recipes can be found in other books. Recipes are OK for a weekday, but they lack a certain ”something”. I don’t know how to describe it. It feels like you were just experimenting in the kitchen and came up with them. Just not polished enough. If you want to buy one middle-eastern recipe book let it NOT be this one. I read great reviews of Persiana. I’ll check it out next.
January 4, 2022
A bit disappointing. Everything looked and sounded amazing, but the half dozen or so recipes I tried were either a) extremely fiddly or b) turned out only all right. Of course, results could be user error. I have a few more flagged that I'll still like to try.

As should be expected with Sabrina Ghayour’s cookbooks, Bazaar definitely challenges it’s readers to cook outside the box!
Most of the recipes in this book are not your typical “middle eastern restaurant” dish and the flavour profiles contained in them can be described as nothing short of rich. Some recipes would certainly be easier than others, but as a whole, this book is perfect for the at home chef who wants to experiment with Middle-eastern flavours in a new way. At the same time, while some recipes call for certain ingredients I’ve never even seen at my local grocery stores, many of them are new takes on ingredients I’ve loved using for years, so it’s not too unapproachable.
That said, the reason I didn’t give in 5 stars is because while the recipes are very unique and niche, for the average home cook this book may primarily end up left as “I would love to make this…” rather than the “I will make this…” type of book. Therefore, I would say you should hesitate to buy this if your looking for something new, but I also would say that it might not be for you if your just looking to get dinner on the table without much hassle. Yes, some recipes in this book will allow you to do that, but I wouldn’t say it’s enough of them to make it worth it.

Variety of flavors and ingredients in vegetarian foods
Interesting combinations of flavors: both ingredients and favorings/herbs. Heavy use of Mediterranean ingredients, including olives and olive oil, sumac, preserved lemons, beans, and labneh in interesting ways. Food isn't all about health: author doesn't hesitate in her use of carbohydrates, eggs, and dairy, especially halloumi, alongside the prominent use of legumes and vegetables, she also doesn't hesitate to fry. Food is outside of the standard European fare, and with Mediterranean flavors and ingredients, but not so unusual as to be unappealing. Sabrina Ghayour offers recipes for meals from appetizers to desserts. In my opinion the desserts are the least appealing as the baked goods are fairly vegetable heavy which may be typical of Mediterranean desserts, but remind me of the chocolate zucchini cake we were served too frequently in childhood to get rid of the enormous Midwest garden monstrosities.

Stunning book with an elegantly simple deep red cover which speaks of sumptuousness.
Easy to manipulate through the e-book version, which is the one I have, with clear chapter headings, such as Light Bites, Moreish Mains and Spectacular Sides, which then list the various recipes within the group, as well as an index which lists ingredients in alphabetical order: really useful when looking to find something to do with that leftover vegetable.
The recipes are clearly explained, step by step, and each is followed by an attractive photograph of the completed dish.
Some delightful sounding dishes here, like 'Smacked cucumber salad (yes, it's not a typo, it is Smacked) and the delectable Cinnamon Pavlova with sweet Labneh Cream. If they live up to the flavours of the Roast Aubergine and Carrot Cous Cous this is going to be a delicious tastebud experience.

I’ve gotten a lot of vegetarian cookbooks from the library over the years and this is definitely one of the best I’ve seen. Lots of exciting entrees to add to our rotation, not the same old recipes I’m used to seeing elsewhere. Fully illustrated which I always appreciate. The only thing I’d like to see is a time estimate so it would be easier to figure out which recipes are good for weeknights and which are more involved
January 10, 2020
Gorgeous and eminently accessible. Americans get vegetarian food all wrong, with strange processed artificial copycats of meat dishes. This one is chock full of plant-based recipes that shine in their own right, without being overly complex. You will need a few ingredients from a Middle Eastern grocery store, but it's not bad.
February 15, 2023
I would like to borrow this book again. So far I have cooked 10 recipes from it - all good - and I learned some new things too. Like how to make much better couscous.
I find it a little frustrating that some of the volumes are unclear (e.g. 2 eggplants - what size eggplants and do you mean the big ones or the thin ones?), but generally I found everything tasty and easy to follow.

A vibrant beautiful book, full of easy-to-make, yet impressive recipes. Perhaps not as versatile or visually stunning as Persiana, her first book, and yet a great addition to any cookbook library. Worth it for the introduction to new ingredients alone.
May 21, 2019
The photography in this book is gorgeous and everything sounds delicious—I can’t wait to work my way through all of these recipes. Yum!

A wonderful collection of vegetarian recipes, there are a wide variety of dishes present and many flavorful combinations to keep the reader’s culinary curiosity engaged.

Lovely book and creative recipes. The Persian interpretation of Sichuan dandan mian was delicious but everyone had serious gas afterwards. Maybe it was the mushroom cooking process.

Another fabulous cookbook by the amazingly talented (and wonderful friend) Sabrina Ghayour!

Great cookbook with well written and ordered recipes accompanied by excellent photography - there is no photoshop work here and you get pretty much what is in the picture.

Beautiful photos. I haven't made any of the recipes, but there are two I want to try after swapping out the unhealthy flour with a more nutritious one.
