Secret Dishes From Around The World – Cookbook 1 (£18)
The original Secret Dishes From Around the World (2019) is packed full of vegetarian and vegan recipes and beautifully illustrated by Libby Element. Libby is a talented Manchester-based illustrator who works with acrylics. She is fascinated by natural textures and forms, and her attention to detail brings the recipes to life. This book presents a refreshing diversity of recipes; it includes vegetarian and vegan recipes from traditionally veggie-friendly cuisines, such as Indian. But it also includes dishes from countries that aren’t commonly included in plant-based recipe books – like Papua New Guinea!
