Don’t Overmix the Dough: Over mixing can lead to tough biscuits. Mix the dough just until it comes together. These indulgent recipes elevate vegetables to star status... Bhogal's meticulous, beautifully written recipe notes bring childhood memories of family meals to life and relate the joy of meat-free cuisine for all home cooks. This is a winner. In addition, 2 weeks of meals-a 14-day schedule of meals, including step-by-step recipes and shopping lists for each, with tips on what you can prepare ahead of time to get dinner or meal on the table faster. It's well-proven that a diet centering fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, and nuts is healthier for us and our planet, but talks of decreasing global meat and dairy intake have for too long been tied to narratives of culinary sacrifice. Ravinder Bhogal, award-winning chef and self-described “half-woman, half-hummus,” knows better. In Comfort and Joy, she radically reclaims vegan and vegetarian cooking in all its abundance, with decadent, craveable recipes that bring together crisp okra fries with curry leaf mayonnaise, earthy roasted beet salad with blood orange and creamy burrata, whipped feta with tomatoes confit, and so much more.Let this be an inspiration when preparing food in your kitchen with your love ones for the Holiday. It would be lovely to know your cooking story in the comments sections below.

At a corner table in Jikoni – where ingredients are British and inspiration global, and where one has to make impossible decisions between dishes such as whipped feta with beetroot Gujarati cake, butternut squash pakoras and crispy aubergine with Sichuan caramel – Bhogal is brimming with enthusiasm for her latest project. This month, she publishes a plant-based cookbook, full of recipes so imaginative and luscious that (and I say this as an omnivore) you’d never know they didn’t contain meat.Breakfast: Ham And Cheese Egg Cups, Fruit Salad, Pimento Cheese Grits, Best Homemade Sausage Gravy. Feel Good is all about exploring how food and cooking makes us feel. More and more of us are cooking with both our mental and physical health in mind. So these are my favourite recipes that help me feel supported, recipes that I turn to when I'm low on energy and want to feel brighter; recipes that are so easy that they are a joy to cook and make me feel more confident, food that helps me feel calmer and more grounded, big sharing recipes for when friends come over and I want to spoil them and show them love but also I want to not get stressed about entertaining or end up with a week's worth of washing up! There's something for every mood and occasion in here.
