A delicious collection of family friendly recipes… This is the cookbook you need to spice things up in your kitchen.” – Chef Virginia Willis, James Beard award-winning cookbook author
Let me tell you why The Spice Collector’s Cookbook is different:
First Reason:
It brings variety to your table
I focused on the most well-known, most loved dishes—meals that people enjoy here in the United States. This cookbook reflects the real way we eat today and the food we love regularly.
In a lifestyle where we can’t eat the same thing every day, this book helps you bring flavor, variety, and recipes that truly fit into everyday American life.
You’re breaking a stereotype and showing that food has no borders.
Second Reason:
I made sure the recipes are simple enough to make at home, using ingredients that are easy to find in your pantry.
Third Reason:
Deciding what to cook every day can be a real challenge—what to make, how to make it. But when someone takes care of the menu for you, it makes the task so much easier. That’s exactly what this book does.
This book is dedicated to all moms.
A delicious collection of family-friendly recipes… This is the cookbook you need to spice things up in your kitchen.”

Gujarati cuisine is traditionally boiled, baked, steamed, or stir-fried – creating light and healthy meals that are still packed with flavour.
This cookbook explores authentic cuisine from the west coast of India – with recipes adopting the region’s explosive combination of sweet, spicy, and sour flavours. Unlike the heavier curries and deep-fried foods that we often associate with Indian cuisine, From Gujarat With Love offers a new insight on cooking appropriate for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone who wants to create meat-free meals. Featuring easy recipes for classic small plates, popular street food, and everything in between — from bite-sized appetisers and filling dals to classic curries, decadent desserts, and refreshing beverages. Vina Patel has made her recipes accessible for home-cooks everywhere, including prep and cook times and any relevant dietary requirements for each recipe.
Recipes include Spicy Pea Croquettes, Curry Cashew Masala, Smoky Aubergine Curry, Green Chickpea Salad, Spinach Chaat, Thin Layered Roti and Kheer with Cherries.
World-renowned food photographer Jonathan Lovekin photographs the vibrant and colourful dishes, and there are atmospheric photographs of Gujarat throughout. This book transports the reader to the site of these dishes – with compelling stories from Gujarat coupled with delicious plant-based recipes from the region.
