Description

Star TV chef and restaurant owner Nisha Katona applies her trademark fresh, spice-packed and family-friendly modern Indian culinary style to vegan and veggie food.

Environmentalists are calling for us to reduce our meat intake, and Indian cuisine, being naturally healthy, flavoursome and meat-free, is fast becoming the go-to cuisine for modern families. Nisha Katona is on a mission to preserve the authentic Indian cooking of her mother and grandmothers, translating it for a Western audience into recipes that are quick and easy to prepare, healthy and super tasty—perfect for today's busy lives.

Meat Free Mowgli is organised by ingredient to be as useful as possible, and all the ingredients are easy to source. Once again, Nisha weaves her magic, conjuring up incredible flavours with just a handful of carefully paired ingredients.
