Magazine “Want a hot, spicy trip around the world? Save the money on airfare and instead splurge on Robin Robertson’s latest work, Vegan Fire & Spice. Already a prolific cookbook author, Robertson tackles some fairly uncharted territory for us vegans, culinarily speaking. Even though there’s a lengthy and lustrous history of ethnic vegetarian cuisine, Robertson’s book gets more in depth as her recipes are often as authentic, and authentically spicy, as they can be. Separated into regions—the Americas, Mediterranean Europe, the Middle East and Africa, India, and Asia—the book features appetizers, soups and sides, main courses, and sauces for each locale. From classic dishes like Spicy Rotini Primavera to the truly exotic Vietnamese “fish” Sauce, the heat index can be adjusted to personal taste. Robertson arms her readers with the right way to “cool down after one chile too many,” and encourages us to try a little more heat than we may usually attempt. Forget the armchair; stovetop travelling is far spicier.”
The
Virginian-Pilot "ROBIN ROBERTSON, formerly of Virginia Beach and nationally known for cookbooks such as "Vegan Planet," "Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker" and the "Vegetarian Meat & Potatoes Cookbook" has written another - "Vegan Fire & Spice: 200 Sultry and Savory Global Recipes" She and husband, Jon, published the latest title it through their new company, Vegan Heritage Press, based in Woodstock, Va. Expect recipes for boldly seasoned Indian and Thai curries, African stews, Middle Eastern kebabs and pilafs, Moroccan tagines and more. Directions allow the home cooks to spice their dishes from bold to light. It's organized by geographic region and the head notes provide alternatives for items that may be locally unavailable, though most should be readily available in supermarkets."
