Lets go over the chapters, my faves and the TOC, Tips distributed in between, and Giveaway at the End of the post. As with my first book 40% of my earning gets donated to various Charities listed in the book.
Chapter 1 Peanut Butter & Coconut
When in a jiffy, I always make some PB sauce dishes. My faves are the Lentils in PB Sauce(of course!), Green curry fried rice (so vibrant!), Massaman Curry! Can’t eat peanuts, no worries, use my Peanut-free & Nutfree Peanut Sauce from the chapter. Options for Everyone!
Chapter 2 Sweet and Sour
Crispy Orange Cauliflower, Sweet and sour Tofu (pan fried with a few tsp of oil), Manchurian noodles, kung pao lentils, Teriyaki Lentil Balls oh yeah! So many Takeout meals in this chapter but without the deep frying. Refreshing and Delicious!
Tips:
- Most of the sauces are freezer friendly, so make ahead to reduce active time.
- Many recipes use veggies that you can always chop ahead and store. I chop up some onion, ginger, garlic, chili, peppers over the weekend as they are usually the base component in many Indian and other recipes.
- Premake or use premade ingredients like pizza sauce, red curry paste, pizza dough etc
- Read the recipe once entirely before proceeding. Once you cook a few recipes from the book, the flow gets easier and reduces the prep and active times.
- a bit of planning goes a long way!
Chapter 3 Masala & Saag
I mean, literally everything is a fave from this chapter. I will always be partial to Indian food and the next fave is Ethiopian. Lentil balls with Masala sauce and Ethiopian Jackfruit and lentil wot are a stand out. The curried Noodles are super quick fave. All of the sauces are freezer friendly. Always have masala sauces in the fridge!

Chapter 4 Buffalo and Firecracker
Hot Stuff! You can adjust the heat with using less of the hot sauce. The buffalo chickpea Pizza and firecracker Crispy Cauliflower, oh yeah! Buffalo anything with the book’s popular from scratch vegan ranch, perfect!.

Chapter 5 Burgers, Sandwiches, Loafs
The whopper Pecan Mushroom lentil burgers(so much flavor), Brown Chickpea jackfruit burgers (so hearty), Chickpea BBQ loaf, and the seed-full Quinoa bbq patties (no Beans). Mmmm.. Most patties can be made gluten-free, serve with gluten-free bread or wraps. The patties can be made into loafs and the loafs can be made into patties!
Review:
Chapter 6 Bowls and Hands
Jalapeno popper dip Wraps, Chickpea Veggie stew with baharat (so good), The buddha bowl with Nacho spiced Sweet potatoes(hell yeah!), Crispy Smoky Lentils with creamy greens bowl(so addictive). So much texture and Flavor!
Chapter 7 Deep Dishing
Are you ready for a gooey cheesy Deep deep dish pizza? With from scratch Mozzarella and your own pizza sauce (or use premade), Spinach Alfredo Pizza or make a sandwich melt!, Smoky Mac bake, Spinach artichoke Lasagna (all have nut-free options!). Once you have some of the components ready, the pizzas and bakes come together fairly quickly.
Chapter 8 Breakfast for Lunch
Frittatas (no tofu!), Chickpea chilaquiles, Samosa stuffed french toast is where its at. This chapter is all savory brunches. Some sweet options are in the Dessert Chapter.
Tips:
Many of the recipes are also very kid friendly as reported by all of you who have been cooking from the book. Adjust the heat as needed by reducing cayenne, black pepper, hot sauce and green chilies. Spices and herbs can change in flavor as they age, add more or less to preference when you taste.
Chapter 9 Sweet Note
Almond Butter Cheesecake Brownies, Blondies, Cupcakes, Tiramisu Fudge Bars! yuhum. And for a lighter fare, try the Lemon Chia Pudding, Seedy Chocolate Snack Bars!
Review:
Chapter 10 is some basics
The 20 min pizza dough is super quick. The Gluten-free pizza dough works out wonderfully as well. Can’t find good gluten-free tortillas or wraps? make the soft pliable gluten-free flatbread from this chapter.
Chapter 11 is Pantry, Tools and Index of Recipe groups based on Soy-free, Gluten-free, Nut-free!

I just discovered your blog so I have not had a chance to make any of your recipes but I would LOVE to try the desserts in your cookbook – especially anything with chocolate and peanut butter 🙂
I LOVED your GOBI MUSALLAM (from the blog)!!! I don’t have the cookbook yet, but everything in this post looks delish 🙂
If one was to ask me for my favorite recipe of yours, I could not answer. You are truly an inspiration and help guiding me to creating gourmet dishes. Cooking is an art, a joy, a relaxation and you have captured that with each and every dish you create.
I make your Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Curry, Cauliflower Kofta Balls and am moving on to Butter Tofu Paneer this week.
There are so many dishes to name I have made multiple times. I now have a love of garam masala and always use more than stated .
Happy Anniversary and thank you for sharing with all of us, your amazing gift and incorporating our life style in your creations!!!!!!
I want to try making the Firecracker Jackfruit Sandwiches from the book. It sounds intriguing.
they are so good!
The carrot halwa from Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen is TO DIE FOR!!!! Everything I’ve made from that book is amazingly delicious. And the avocado naan– wow!!!!! It was so good I couldn’t believe I actually made it. All of your recipes are so great, I’d love to try the ones in Everyday Kitchen!
My favourite recipe is the Almond Butter Cheesecake Brownies. AMAZING!
Awesome blog! And you are a great writer, thanks for sharing!
My favorite recipe from the blog is probably the lentil peanut butter curry. Sooo filling and warming!
But I’ve also made your new soy curl tacos twice in the last week, so that’s a second favorite!
I’ve just come across your website and I’m already in love. Great and comprehensive. I made of of your curries with chickpeas and peanut butter and the whole family loved it. I’d live ypur book find its way to France. I could spread the vegan good news further in the family and around friends.
Thats awesome! Both my books are available on amazon.fr https://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=vegan+richa
