The Spice Collector's Cookbook: Easy Family Recipes Inspired by Spices from Across the Globe (Vina Patel)

Looking for super easy, crowd-pleasing recipes with flavor influences from around the world? Vina Patel's favorite hobby is traveling to find her family's next favorite dish, and in this book she shares her best 80 tried-and-tested recipes from her adventures.

The Spice Collector's Cookbook compiles 80 original recipes from around the world, perfected by the author as she adds her native Indian flavour, flair and perfectionism. This is the cookbook to break you out of your usual cooking habits and introduce you to bold new flavors and ideas. There are authentic regional recipes, and fusion concoctions that break all the rules - all in the name of flavor!

Traveling is Vina Patel's favorite hobby. She has been fortunate enough to discover over 34 countries – and counting! – and she loves trying new, authentic cuisines in every place. If her family end up liking something, she’ll come home, master the recipe, but make it healthier, easier, and faster to make while retaining its delicious, unique taste. While embarking on this personal culinary journey that spans many, many years, Vina not only realized the true essence of her own (traditionally Gujarati) cooking skills, but she discovered and perfected cuisines from all over the globe. This cookbook brings together those lessons.
