While working on my first cookbook, Entice with Spice, Easy Indian Recipes for Busy People, I knew my next book would be a healthy vegetarian cookbook. I have always had a great appreciation for a meatless diet because of its many health benefits. Having recently become a new mom, I am even more interested and encouraged to cook healthy dishes using fresh produce for my family. For two years I've been creating, cooking, and tasting recipes, and now I'm happy to share my collection of quick and easy, healthy, flavorful, and satisfying vegetarian recipes here.
