Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Attractive presentation, clear instructions and good flavours - Very attractive visual presentation. My only gripe about the cover is that in my hands i know it will get stained and dirty through usage (I'm from the bombsite school of cookery) and it's not really wipe clean. I guess I could get a cover....but I won't. I'm working through the book and have only made three recipes thus far. But the flavours were excellent. I found the text of the recipes clear and appropriately detailed. There are several shops reasonably local to me where I can access some of the less usual ingredients. Although I found quite a few at my supermarket albeit substantially more expensive (hence exploration of my local Korean shop- what a joy & revelation!) I've been vegetarian for decades but branching out more into veganism these days so I don't really want to be eating paneer, but found that I could satisfactorily use firm tofu instead. Fact is that no cook book is ever going to be meet the individual needs of us all, so it's more about using a book as a creative starting point and adjusting things to fit your own tastes. I don't do frying apart from a bit of stir-frying using very little oil. There is quite a bit of frying in this book, so where possible I've used less oil and oven-baked as an alternative cooking method. It probably changes the end character of the dish a bit but it has still tasted good and been (I believe!) that much healthier. I also don't eat much in the way of carbohydrate and there are quite a few rice dishes in the book. I'll get around to them but it'll take a while. I'm sure they will taste good though. Full marks to Meera for not including useless breakfast meals, not too much in the way of dessert stuff and for avoiding overly effusive language. This is a down-to-earth book, just good food , and I like it ☺ Review: Delicious, simple and varied - My friend cooked a recipe from here when I went To dinner- it was so delicious I took a photo of the recipe and cooked it myself the next day - it was super easy, but full of flavour. I was so impressed I broke my new recipe book embargo and purchased it. I was not disappointed - it’s a great varied range of types of dishes, flavour profiles and country of origin. There are really simple cupboard supply dishes and some that will stretch you in terms of technique or flavour. Some dishes you might need to find some ingredients in a bigger supermarket or online but there are plenty of dishes that don’t require anything too special. Nice to see some snacks and a small selection of sweet dishes. Although oil is used, it’s not difficult to reduce or remove it if you are trying to be WFPBNO - for example, chilli tofu recipes is written to be deep fried, but it does no harm to the recipe to simply dry fry or cook the tofu in the air fryer with no or minimal oil. If you have any cooking capability you will be able to navigate that and also any substitutions - some are already mentioned. I am very much looking forward to the potato parathas! I have never cooked bao before but the recipe looks so easy and delicious I am going to give them a go! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0241387566 | | Best Sellers Rank | 9,359 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 12 in Other Asian Food & Drink 19 in Vegan Food 38 in Vegetarian Food | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,968) | | Dimensions | 19.6 x 2.6 x 25.1 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9780241387566 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0241387566 | | Item weight | 1.14 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | 8 Aug. 2019 | | Publisher | Fig Tree | ## Images ![– East: An Asian cookbook filled with 120 easy and delicious vegetarian and vegan recipes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91CG0d3Zu3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attractive presentation, clear instructions and good flavours *by L***K on 6 June 2020* Very attractive visual presentation.

A great all around book, even if you're not veggie or vegan, anyone can really enjoy the recipes. I've made a few recipes from it and have never been dissappointed. Ingredients are all ones you can find easily or if you're an avid cook probably have already. ## Frequently Bought Together - East - Fresh India: 130 Quick, Easy and Delicious Vegetarian Recipes for Every Day --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/107161072-east-an-asian-cookbook-filled-with-120-easy-and-delicious](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/107161072-east-an-asian-cookbook-filled-with-120-easy-and-delicious) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
