How do you say “I don’t eat milk, eggs, chicken, meat or fish” in Mandarine, French, Dutch or Swahili?
If you don’t plan on traveling the world but still want to get a taste of the flavors this planet’s cuisines has to offer, Carolyn Scott-Hamilton’s new vegan cookbook The Healthy Voyager’s Global Kitchen should be on your wish list.
(You know, a good way to use up those gift cards from the holidays!)Carolyn is a well-known veggie expert and passionate traveler. Having circled the globe countless times, she does a great job capturing the special and staple dishes from over 18 countries.This all-encompassing collection doesn’t leave out the flavors or re-make rice and beans 30 different ways – it fully grabs your spices and herbs by the collars, shakes them silly, and creates delicious flavor profiles that aren’t found in any other international cookbook.Some recipes use vegan “meats” and “cheeses” which are now easier to find in health food stores and regular grocery chains. These are great choices for a mixed crowd that might include vegans, vegetarians and omnivores to satisfy everyone’s cravings.The recipes are also thoughtfully designed with gluten-free , soy-free, and low fat options, as well as metric and standard measurements for the global reader as well as the Americans.Some favorite recipes are the arepas, alfajores (AKA Dulce de leche sandwich cookies), and the Cuban black beans, rice, sweet plantains and garlic yucca (YUUMMM!!)
