The Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookbook
By Salma Hage
Written by Salma Hage, the author of The Lebanese Kitchen, this new cookbook, released in 2017, proposes a collection of 150 vegetarian dishes influenced by Middle Eastern flavors.
“Salma Hage’s new book is in line with the current Western trends of consciously reducing meat, and the ancient Middle Eastern culture of largely vegetarian, mezze style dining.
Traditionally, the Middle Eastern diet consisted largely of vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, pulses, grains and legumes. Salma simplifies this fast becoming popular cuisine with easily achievable recipes, many with vegan and gluten-free options.
Drawing inspiration from ancient and prized Phoenician ingredients, from grassy olive oil to fresh figs and rich dates, this book offers an array of delicious breakfasts and drinks, mezze and salads, vegetables and pulses, grains and desserts. Salma shows how to easily make the most of familiar everyday fruits and legumes, as well as more exotic ingredients now widely available outside of the Middle East, with nourishing recipes so flavourful and satisfying they are suitable for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.”

By Saiphin Moore
Released in July 2018, this book features authentic Thai dishes such as Tom yum mixed mushrooms, Panang curry with tofu, stir fried aubergine with soybean sauce and Butternut red curry, this brilliant sequel adds an exciting new strand to Rosa’s repertoire.
Founded by Anglo-Thai husband and wife team Alex and Saiphin Moore, Rosa’s is a Thai café group that has grown from a street-food stall in Brick Lane in 2008 to 10 London restaurants today.
“The personal journey of the author is also interesting as “Saiphin grew up on a mountain farm in Khao Kho, Northern Thailand, where she learned to cook with ingredients brought straight from field to wok. When she was 20, Saiphin moved to Hong Kong as a nanny where she spent the next 18 years cooking endless family meals and dinner parties, fitting catering jobs around her babysitting duties.
Shortly after meeting Alex in 2001, she set up her own Thai takeaway and later a sitdown restaurant named Tuk Tuk Thai. The pair lived in Hong Kong for 6 years, before selling the restaurant and moving to London together in 2006.”
They also have a YouTube channel with aplenty food recipes to browse and watch here.
