The Global Vegetarian Kitchen invites you to cook global and source local, starting in your back yard – buying produce at your local farmers' market or perhaps growing your own vegetables and herbs – then reaching around the world to bring the diversity and delight of vegetarian dishes into your kitchen. With an emphasis on simplicity and versatility, you'll find it easy to create dishes such as Bean bredie from South Africa, barley risotto from Italy, Nepalese lentil curry or lemon-grass scented Thai soup. All you need to do is stock up your spice rack and take your tastebuds travelling.
