* Named one of the best cookbooks of the year by The New York Times, the Boston Globe, and Delish *

“Enticing, inviting and delicious. Vegan and vegetarian dishes that are hard to resist (and why should you?).”

―Yotam Ottolenghi

“Sodha, who writes a vegan cooking column for The Guardian, has widened her scope in this exceptional volume, drawing on ingredients and techniques from throughout Asia to inspire a mix of mostly speedy, weeknight-friendly dishes… a glimpse of Ms. Sodha at her best.”

―Melissa Clark, The New York Times

“With verve and charm, Meera Sodha persuades all cooks to make her luscious plant-based food. Her honesty and wit shine bright in this accessible collection of recipes tailored for omnivores and busy people. Every page bursts with exciting ideas you’ll want to cook up!”


―Andrea Nguyen, author of Vietnamese Food Any Day and The Pho Cookbook


Modern, vibrant, fuss-free food made from easy-to-find ingredients, East is a must-have whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply want to eat more delicious meat-free food.

Meera Sodha's stunning new collection features brand-new recipes from a wide range of Asian cuisines. This cookbook is a collaboration between Sodha and the East Asian and South East Asian home cooks and gourmet chefs who inspired her along the way. There are noodles, curries, rice dishes, tofu, salads, sides, and sweets, all easy to make and bursting with exciting flavors.

Taking you from India to Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan, by way of China, Thailand, and Vietnam, East will show you how to whip up a root vegetable laksa and a chard, potato, and coconut curry; how to make kimchi pancakes, delicious dairy-free black dal and chili tofu. There are sweet potato momos for snacks and unexpected desserts like salted miso brownies and a no-churn Vietnamese coffee ice cream.

I'm really looking forward to trying more recipes from here. The Sun House Chile Eggs are a must try and they are super easy. Mine didn't turn out as pretty as the book, but I'm sure with practice it will get better. I will probably make my eggs like this from now on.

This is an unassuming cookbook full of unique vegan and vegetarian recipes. I cook a lot, and have many, many cookbooks. Rarely do I find one with recipe after recipe that I want to add into my rotation. What I really like is that they are easy to follow, don’t take a lot of time and the ingredients are accessible.
BRAVO!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best vegan cookbook- in fact my favorite cookbook ever
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021
Verified Purchase
I cook for a large crowd of old and young mostly vegans. I have made almost everything in this marvelous cookbook Without fail, the recipes are delicious, beautiful and easy to make. So many recipes including the Bombay Rolls, Summer Pilau, Napa Cabbage Okonomiyaki and Food Court Singapore Noodles have become staples I return to again and again. I have at least a hundred vegan cookbooks and I would trade them all in for this one. I fell in love with Meera Sodha with her India and Fresh India cookbooks but with this one she has created a masterpiece. I have given many copies away to friends and family. My copy is already looking so well loved, I may need to buy myself another copy. Thank you Meera for bringing us flavorful, bright, fun and delicious food for the whole family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overwhelmingly fantastic
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2021
Verified Purchase
I'm vegan, and it's a very rare thing for me to buy a non-vegan cookbook. But I got this out of the library, and it was really fantastic, so I bought a copy. Here's what I've made so far: carmelized fennel and carrot salad with mung beans and herbs, rutabaga laksa, ben ben noodles, peanut butter and broccolini pad thai, mouth numbing noodles with chili oil and red cabbage, white miso raman with tofu and asparagus, clay pot noodles with beets and smoked tofu, shitake pho with crispy leeks, udon noodles with red cabbage and cauliflower, food court singapore noodles, honey soy and ginger braised tofu (I used agave syrup), chile tofu, spring vegetable bun cha, mashed potato paratha, and black dal. Everything was good, almost everything was extremely good. There are still many more recipes that I want to try, but I've think I tried enough to write an informed review.
The book is beautiful, very high quality with pictures for almost every recipe.
Some recipes call for specialized ingredients. I started with the ones that didn't, and I was so enthused by the results that I started picking up the ingredients I'd need to make the others.
Someone commented below that you have to convert from metric in order to make the recipes, but that isn't true, at least with the version of the book I received in the US.
Highly recommended.

So far all of the recipes we’ve tried are great. We have not tried the Indian recipes yet, and I would estimate that this book has more Indian recipes than any other “East” country. Many are fairly simple but come together as bigger than the sum of their parts. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful cooking adventure for ordinary folk.
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2021

This is my favorite cookbook for simple, flavorful meals. And, by the way, the recipes are vegetarian. Beautiful pictures. Lay-flat binding (which means when you open the book to a page it friggin stays open! As it should be for all cookbooks but all to often, is not!). All the recipes are one page or less so - simple! I have not made everything in it yet but I am well on my way. Pho that is as good as any good take-out! Braised tofu that is a delight! PhadThai to die for! I live in a rural community that, while far from being a food desert, does present challenges when gathering ingredients. Enter Amazon! I’ve been able to find most things on Amazon. However, the vast majority of recipes can be made with what’s available on an island in the great Pacific Northwest.

4.0 out of 5 stars My one complaint - but big for me
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024
Verified Purchase
Great cookbook, when you take the recipes in isolation. My biggest compliant is the lack of a descriptive section to discuss unfamiliar ingredients. I have had paneer at restaurants - and I know I love it. But I don’t BUY it or COOK with it. Where do I get it? What do I look for? How do I store it? This is just one example, but it’s a disappointment. She’s so good at explaining her recipes, but I buy cookbooks from professional cooks (rather than on-line whatever) because of the knowledge and know-how they bring to the table. (Pun intended). Great recipes, though.

Meera Sodha is just the best! As Made in India is one of the most loved cookbooks in my kitchen, I could not wait to get my hands on East and it did not disappoint. I am not a vegetarian but all of these recipes are so flavorful and hearty, I promise that you will not miss the meat. Additionally they are all really easy and I haven't had trouble finding any of the ingredients in my local supermarket. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add more plant-based meals to their diet!
