Comfort and Joy: Irresistible Pleasures from a Vegetarian

Comfort and Joy is a fresh take on vegetarian and vegan cooking; not geared towards health or denial but indulging all the senses with a decadent global larder. Mix the dry ingredients with the butter and cheese. Add in the buttermilk and mix just until just combined. Using Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar cheese imparts a stronger flavor than mild cheddar, making the biscuits more flavorful. At a corner table in Jikoni – where ingredients are British and inspiration global, and where one has to make impossible decisions between dishes such as whipped feta with beetroot Gujarati cake, butternut squash pakoras and crispy aubergine with Sichuan caramel – Bhogal is brimming with enthusiasm for her latest project. This month, she publishes a plant-based cookbook, full of recipes so imaginative and luscious that (and I say this as an omnivore) you’d never know they didn’t contain meat. Shred the Cheese Yourself: Store-bought shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that can alter the taste and consistency of the cheese.A gorgeous and enticing marriage of styles and flavours that is uniquely Ravinder's' - Claudia Roden Proper Baking Time and Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated, and bake the biscuits at the specified temperature for the perfect texture.

Feel Good is all about exploring how food and cooking makes us feel. More and more of us are cooking with both our mental and physical health in mind.
