Over 90 recipes featuring the humble roti and its many accompanimentsRoti is perhaps one of India's most versatile, yet unassuming, dishes. Bake it on a griddle, stuff it with mashed potatoes, lather it in ghee or butter, pair it with curries and pickles, roast it, fry it, or bake it in a tandoor. It is made with many grains, but traditionally with wheat flour. It is no wonder then that Roti is integral to Indian and cuisines from other South Asian countries, such as Pakistan and Bangladesh and a popular accompaniment in most Asian cuisine restaurants.In Roti, author Anuradha Ravindranath introduces the reader to the different facets of this unprepossessing flatbread. She draws on her memories as a child, of her mother buying whole wheat grain at a market, of it drying on the rooftop of their Delhi home, of the trips to a nearby mill so that it is ground into fresh, warm flour, and the fluffy rotis fresh off the pan that was an enduring staple for lunches.In doing so, Anuradha Ravindranath skilfully weaves her memories of the flatbread with over 90 delicious recipes and turns the humble roti into a delightful, glamorous showstopper. Packed with photographs, the book will feature accompaniments to rotis by way of dips and pickles, as well as easy-to-follow tips in classic DK style.

Halle Burns (<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ballehurns?">@ballehurns</a>) was still in college when she started posting viral videos about plant-based cooking on TikTok, and now millions of fans follow her for soothingly narrated content and easy, shareable recipe ideas. Since Halle was on a student budget at the time and often only had her trusty air fryer to do the actual cooking, she became really creative to fulfill her cravings in the simplest way possible. Recipes had to be attainable and failproof too, and that meant accessible ingredients in every grocery store, not just in overpriced gourmet markets. They needed to be quick to prepare using as few ingredients as possible, like her two-ingredient Tofu Dough and Spicy Citrus Vinaigrette, which can be made in advance and used to jazz up almost any vegetable. Or when you’re in the mood for carbs but don’t have bread in the kitchen, Emergency Bread can be baked in a flash in a microwave oven. Now fans are begging for more, so Halle wrote a cookbook like no other. With incredibly fun photography throughout, Call Me Vegan offers recipes for every occasion which you won't find anywhere else. Her Snacks that Smack chapter includes Rice Paper Bacon Snack Strips, Kale Puffs, Crunchy Mushroom Crisps, and her spicy Angry Edamame. There are breakfast recipes like Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Bowl and Chunky Cocoa-Banana Stovetop Granola. Of course, there are main dishes too like Lasagna Roll-Ups, Mushroom Pulled Pork, and Cheesy Vegan Mac. If you're reading these recipes and wondering how they can be vegan at all, then you're getting the idea of what makes Halle's cooking so special. There are also basics like Mixed Berry Chia Jam, Instant Plant Milk, and Tofu Cream Cheese, along with tips for stocking your pantry and essential kitchen tools—making this the perfect book for plant-based lifestyle newcomers and long-time vegans who are searching for easy ways to be more adventurous in the kitchen.
