Near & Far
Recipes Inspired by Home and Travels
Book - 2015
Known for combining natural foods recipes with evocative, artful photography, New York Times bestselling author Heidi Swanson circled the globe to create this mouthwatering assortment of 120 vegetarian dishes. In this deeply personal collection drawn from her well-worn recipe journals, Heidi describes the fragrance of flatbreads hot off a Marrakech griddle, soba noodles and feather-light tempura in Tokyo, and the taste of wild-picked greens from the Puglian coast. Recipes such as Fennel Stew, Carrot & Sake Salad, Watermelon Radish Soup, Brown Butter Tortelli, and Saffron Tagine use healthy, whole foods ingredients and approachable techniques, and photographs taken in Morocco, Japan, Italy, France, and India, as well as back home in Heidi's kitchen, reveal the places both near and far that inspire her warm, nourishing cooking.

Add a CommentNear and Far is a cool travelogue that takes you on a variety of culinary adventures while broadening you palette. Swanson combines unique flavors make her recipes different and exotic without making them complicated to execute. It includes headings that give you a preview of flavors and plenty of new techniques for ingredient prep. You could easily read and cook from the whole book before you realize it is vegetarian. The only thing we felt was missing was a glossary of ingredients. Cooks will enjoy this book from breakfast to cocktails and readers will enjoy the narrative and photos.
Unique recipes.
