From the Author

Robin Robertson:

I’ve been working with food since 1980, when I worked my way up from line cook to chef in the restaurant business. Because I love animals, there was always a vegan inside me waiting to get out, so in 1988, I decided to follow my heart: I left the restaurant business and became a vegan. I wanted to apply my cooking experience to promote vegetarian cooking, and so I began teaching cooking classes in how to adapt classic cooking techniques to vegetarian ingredients. I also began to write articles and cookbooks at that time. I am now the author of ten vegan/vegetarian cookbooks—with more on the way. I’ve been married to my husband, Jon, for 32 years and we have a wonderful 16-year-old cat named Douglas Fur. (More...)

Reviewer: Kim from Northern California, U.S.A.:

This cookbook is great if you love spicy foods. I love all the different world areas covered! She offers Asian, Americas, Mediterranean African and Indian recipes. These recipes have really nice flavors and are easy to prepare. Of course you can tone down the heat if you can't stand it. I guess that means you shouldn't be in the kitchen then, huh? Seriously, get this book and spice up your life.
