I used this cookbook while staying with my sister, and I liked it so much that I ordered a copy for myself. It has proven to be a great purchase! I have made so many of the recipes already, and found all of them quite tasty and not too difficult to make, either. In the process I've added a few new cooking techniques to my repertoire (such as making spice paste - who knew that was so easy??). This cookbook is a handy portal into a world of vivid tastes. The photography is inspiring, and helpful in guiding you through the cooking process.
I have another vegetarian cookbook, a large, heavy one which is sadly languishing. I think one of the things that keeps me from using it, is that it often calls for ingredients I can't easily access. Happily, that is not the case with Celia Brooks Brown's offering. "Bold and beautiful" is right... and you could also add "inviting and accessible."
