Ravinder Bhogal, award-winning chef and self-described “half-woman, half-hummus,” knows better. In Comfort and Joy, she radically reclaims vegan and vegetarian cooking in all its abundance, with decadent, craveable recipes that bring together crisp okra fries with curry leaf mayonnaise, earthy roasted beet salad with blood orange and creamy burrata, whipped feta with tomatoes confit, and so much more. Proper Baking Time and Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated, and bake the biscuits at the specified temperature for the perfect texture. Ravinder is one of the best food writers in Britain today, and interwoven throughout these recipes are stories of a life led by the feel-good, life-enhancing power of vegetarian food. Born in Kenya to Indian parents, Bhogal’s food is inspired by her mixed heritage and the UK’s diverse immigrant culture. Her first restaurant, Jikoni, was ranked 56th in the UK by the National Restaurant Awards within seven months of opening and achieved a place in the Michelin Guide in the same year.
