Tasty Express is the first cookbook by Sneh Roy, a food photographer from Sydney and creator of the multi award-winning food blog Cook Republic which won Best Australian Blog 2013. It is a beautifully shot cookbook with over 100 recipes predominantly wholesome vegetarian recipes that celebrate real food. These easy to make and easy to take recipes with heaps of gluten free and sugar free options will become your weeknight staples and lunchbox inspirations.
Drawing inspiration from her childhood in India and the bustling foodie scene of inner-city Australian life, Sneh's recipes embrace a healthy take on modern classics like tacos, flatbreads, veggie burgers, granola and froyo, drawing comparisons to the healthy 'fast food' phenomenon made famous by the likes of Jamie Oliver. With easy-to-reference chapters such as Cafe Culture, Urban Lunchbox, Green Kingdom, Supper Club and Treat Factory, Tasty Express also includes handy hints, such as how to make fail-safe quinoa, how to grow sprouts from legumes with just a jar and a paper towel, and how to make bread that goes from flour to loaf in under an hour. The book has little express extras on fresh and robust chutnies, healthy smoothies, nut milks, spice mixes, nuts and nibbles.
With stunning photographs for each and every recipe there are lots of textures, smears, sprinkles, drips and crumbs making this a highly tactile visual experience. This is food as we eat today - casually with messy abandon and sharing with loved ones, the way it should be.
