Bring the flavors of the world to your weeknight table — without a single hard-to-find ingredient.

Meatless Around the World is a collection of easy, satisfying vegetarian dinners — many naturally vegan or easily made vegan — inspired by kitchens across the globe, from a lemony Greek chickpea tray bake to a creamy West African peanut stew, a silky Thai red curry, and a cozy warmly-spiced Indian red lentil dal, and many more. Every meal carries the character of its home cuisine and is built around ordinary supermarket ingredients — beans, lentils, pantry spices, and everyday vegetables. Most come together in under 35 minutes, so you can cook something genuinely different tonight without a special shopping trip.

Every recipe is built on whole-food, plant-forward ingredients — with healthy high-protein, high-fiber dinners that keep you full. Most deliver 10–16g of protein and up to 13g of fiber per serving, with no ultra-processed shortcuts.

What makes this cookbook different?
This isn’t a book of 100 recipes you’ll never make. It’s 12 dishes taught so thoroughly that you’ll actually cook them — and cook them well. It doesn’t just tell you, it shows you. Every recipe includes step-by-step preparation photos and a visual “texture goal” guide — a sequence of photos revealing exactly what each stage should look like and, crucially, when to stop cooking. No more guessing whether it’s done, overcooked, or needs another few minutes: just match your pan to the picture. It’s like having someone stand beside you in the kitchen.

Each dish is meat-free, serves four, and is laid out across three clear, illustrated pages: what the dish is and what you’ll need; a step-by-step method with visual texture cues; and a final page covering flavor, nutrition, quick fixes for when something’s not quite right, easy variations, and simple serving ideas.

Inside you’ll find:

Over 72 step-by-step preparation photos — one for every stage, so you always know you’re on track
12 fully-taught illustrated recipes, each one meat-free and internationally inspired
7 recipes are fully vegan, plus 2 more easily made vegan
Visual “texture goal” guides that show you exactly when to stop cooking
High-protein and high-fiber meatless meals — up to 16g of protein and 13g of fiber per serving
Whole-food, plant-forward dinners with no ultra-processed shortcuts
Quick weeknight recipes — most ready in about 35 minutes
Everyday, budget-friendly supermarket ingredients — no specialty stores, no hunting online
Simple fixes for a dish that’s too dry, too pale, or too mild
Easy variations and serving ideas — turning each recipe into many meals
Every recipe serves four — perfect for family dinners or leftovers
Estimated nutritional value for each dish
A world of flavor: Tunisian, Japanese, Thai, Moroccan, Greek, Mexican, Italian, West African, French, Chinese, Indian and Spanish dishes

Whether you’re cooking fully vegetarian, eating less meat, or just looking to shake up the weeknight routine, Meatless Around the World turns simple ingredients into globally inspired dinners the whole table will enjoy.

Big flavor. No fuss. Just good food.

 Verified Great Recipes
Elodie Beaumont’s Meatless Around the World is a fantastic, fuss-free guide for anyone looking to shake up their weeknight routine with global vegetarian flavors. The book delivers on its promise of making international cooking accessible, using budget-friendly, everyday pantry staples to recreate satisfying dishes from across the globe. What makes it such a pleasant read are the beautiful illustrations placed right alongside the step-by-step directions, which bring each dish to life and make following along a total joy. I also found the "Why It Works" page to be a wonderful addition, breaking down flavor profiles, handy variations, and key nutritional content for every meal. My only real complaint is that it felt a bit too short; I was left wishing for even more regional recipes and deeper variations to explore! Still, it’s a lovely, eye-catching addition to any kitchen shelf, perfect for busy home cooks who want fast, healthy, and colorful meals.I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
