Much of the cuisine is naturally plant-based, with a lot of the flavor of recipes coming from the herbs, spices, cooking methods, and sheer \u003ci\u003ejoie de cuisine\u003c\/i\u003e traditional to Middle Eastern dining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVegan diets can often be dismissed as lacking in certain nutrients, but there is no doubt that one thing a Middle Eastern kitchen teaches us is balance: every dish from a traditional kitchen is carefully crafted to offer a balance of “hot” and “cold” elements to satiate the four humors of medieval yore with legumes, grains, nuts, and vegetables galore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original mission of \u003ci\u003eThe New Middle Eastern Vegetarian\u003c\/i\u003e was to celebrate vegetables in all their glory, rather than recreating meat dishes, and in \u003ci\u003eVeganistan\u003c\/i\u003e Sally Butcher starts to play more with seitan, tofu, and tempeh using them as vehicles to showcase the wonderful range of flavor this cuisine offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a book written from a moral point of view, but primarily from a food angle, a way of bigging up and celebrating the wonders of Central Asian, Iranian, Turkish, Arab, and East African vegetable cooking and creating a volume of accessible dishes.","brand":"Sally Butcher","offers":[{"title":"Interlink Publishing Group Inc |  Hardback | Sewn |  2023-02-21","offer_id":44150907306239,"sku":"9781623717599","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/veganistan-9781623717599_hr.jpg?v=1677009033","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781623717599","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
