Sabzi

From the best-selling and critically-acclaimed author Yasmin Khan, comes a dazzling new collection of 80 easy-to-cook, vibrant veg-focussed recipes inspired by her travels across the globe.

‘Pure poetry and joy.’ Meera Sodha

Sabzi – the Persian word for fresh greens and herbs – isn’t a casual afterthought in best-selling author Yasmin Khan’s kitchen; instead they are the cornerstone of the meals she cooks, the bedrock of khorests, curries, soups, salads and frittatas. In this beautiful collection, Yasmin shares the food she most often cooks at home, which just happens to be vegetarian and often vegan, inspired by her Pakistani and Iranian heritage, her mother’s cooking and her travels around the world.

With dishes that always put fresh plants at the heart of a meal, and in chapters such as magnificent mezze, soups for every season and delightful desserts, recipes in the book include: Halloumi Lasagne; Stuffed Aubergines with Pomegranates, Walnuts and Feta; Persian Celery and Bean Stew; Dark Chocolate and Dried Lime Tart... and many more.

An invitation into Yasmin’s treasure trove of a kitchen, with its limited storage and overflowing shelves, Sabzi is a celebration of the life-affirming and nourishing power of plants.
