'Pure poetry and joy' - Meera Sodha

'Such a beautifully inviting book' - Nigella Lawson

Irresistible vegetarian and vegan recipes inspired by award-winning food writer Yasmin Khan's travels - and the cooking she does at home for family and friends.

Lifting its name from the Persian word for 'herbs', Sabzi brings you more than 80 accessible plant-forward recipes that celebrate the best of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian flavours.

From bountiful salads to fragrant soups, colourful mezze, and heart-warming mains, Yasmin invites home cooks to make delicious meals that are good for the health of both people and the planet, while staying connected to the traditional food cultures that make us who we are.

With easy-to-make recipes that put vibrant vegetables at the heart of a meal, dishes in the book include: Halloumi Lasagne; Stuffed Aubergines with Pomegranates, Walnuts and Feta; Smoky Tofu Shakshuka; Sweet Potatoes with Pistachio and Mint Pesto; Rhubarb and Cardamom Tart... and many more.

An invitation into Yasmin's treasure trove of a kitchen, Sabzi is a celebration of the life-affirming and nourishing power of plants.

'In the world of food, Yasmin Khan is a beacon of humanity and light. This generosity and kindness is represented on every page of Sabzi, resplendent with bountiful vegetable dishes that beg to be eaten and shared. There isn't a recipe that I don't want to devour!' - Hetty Lui McKinnon

'A book of hope, sunshine and beautiful food.' - BBC Good Food
