A vibrant tour of Asia in 90 vegan recipes
When Sasha Gill went vegan, she wasn’t about to leave her family’s home-cooked favorites behind. Pad thai without fish sauce? Curry without ghee? In East Meets Vegan, Sasha proves that Asian cooking can be plant-based—as well as easy, affordable, and delicious! Here are
- Veganized favorites Spring rolls, red bean pancakes, shiitake ramen, mango lassis
- Can’t-believe-it’s-vegan twists Tandoori cauliflower “wings,” pineapple fried rice, jackfruit biryani, “butter chicken,” a sushi feast to feed a crowd
- Mix-and-match pairings Combine leftovers for your own take on Asian fusion.

"In the week after New Year, I saw a statistic that a huge number of people had decided to become vegan in 2019 and that 2/3 were expected to stay vegan. For most it was concern for the planet that was making them change their diet.
The good thing is that if books like East Meets Vegan by Sasha Gill continued to be written and published, the transition to a vegan diet will be much easier.
East Meets Vegan takes many loved Asian recipes and makes them vegan. I think it’s the fact that so many people think of the foods that they love and will be missing that makes it hard for them to stick to a vegetarian or vegan diet. Gill takes that problem away.
She substitutes tofu, jackfruit (which I’m still on the fence about because I’ve had one good and one bad dish using it), TVP, mushrooms, and cauliflower in place of meats. Also, she offers replacements for common sauces like oyster sauce.
If you’ve ever cooked Indian or really any Asian dish, you know that the list of ingredients can run quite long. That’s one element that’s still the same, but necessary. Most the ingredients are easy to come by and sometimes go by different names so you might want to look unfamiliar ones up before hitting your store or shopping online. For instance, I was unfamiliar with Makrut lime leaves, but when I Googled saw that they were the Kaffir lime leaves that I have cooked with in the past.
The layout of the book is by country and includes India, Thailand, Singapore & Malaysia, China, and Japan. For those of you who think you’ll miss sushi, she offers some interesting recipes for handrolls and sushi.
The photography is bright and artistic and shows the recipes to their advantage.
I am very excited by East Meets Vegan and can’t wait to try out some of the recipes. Butter bean tikka curry, anyone?
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review."

East Meets Vegan The Best of Asian Home Cooking PlantBased and Delicious edition by Sasha Gill Cookbooks Food Wine eBooks Reviews
- I almost never request cookbooks from Netgalley, but East Meets Vegan looked so enticing that I couldn’t resist. The author’s heritage is Indian and Eurasian, and she grew up in Singapore, so I figured that (but for the substitution of plant-based foods for animal products and some other creative experimentation) the recipes would be authentic as well as tasty. And they do indeed look delicious.
The cookbook falls into six different sections Basic Recipes and Techniques, India, Thailand, Singapore & Malaysia, China and Japan. In its pages are both familiar favorites (Dal Makhani, Cucumber and Mint Raita, Tofu Pad Thai, Thai Green Curry, Satay, Sambal, Scallion Pancakes, Mapo Tofu, Baked Tempura and Shiitake “Tonkotsu†Ramen) and new-to-me dishes (Cauliflower Samosas, Fennel and Parsnip Tarka Dal, Thai-Style Ocean Cakes, Sweetcorn Fritters, Malaysian Rojak Salad, Tempeh Rendang, Gua Bao with Sweet Potato “Belly,†and Hong Kong “Egg†Tarts).
There are color photographs of most of the recipes, and directions are straightforward. Occasionally, some unusual ingredients are called for, but that is only to be expected of a cookbook that is both vegan and one of Asian recipes. On the whole, it seems very accessible for the kind of cookbook it is, and I very much look forward to cooking from it.
In fact, I like the look of it so much that despite having received an advanced reading copy from the publisher, I ordered it from in the hopes that the book will sell well enough that there will be more cookbooks from Sasha Gill. - I grew up in Asia. I have lived/traveled in all the countries featured in this book, and eaten like a local. When I cook or eat Asian food now that I’m living here in the West I do not tolerate too many changes to foods that are a part of my taste history. In this book I recognize dishes, I know flavours, I appreciate the individual twists. Sasha uses ingredients I can find and suggests appropriate substitutions, and the recipes aren’t taxing for everyday cooking ... and unlike so many other recipes and books, in this book I see (and can practically taste) the authenticity! And what I have cooked comes out exactly as Sasha says. My circle of friends includes vegans, vegetarians, people who are dairy-free and/or gluten-free, people whose only dietary restriction is that they want good food, and people who know what authentic Asian food tastes like. No more need to struggle to come up with an authentic Asian menu that satisfies everyone. This book checks all the boxes! I love it! Bought one, and have purchased more - both the UK and US versions.
- I love this cookbook. It has every Asian recipe I want in it.
- I've ordered 3 now and gifted 1 so far. The first recipient, a teenager, has already made several recipes and they came out perfectly, looked lovely and she plans to work her way through the whole book--
- In the week after New Year, I saw a statistic that a huge number of people had decided to become vegan in 2019 and that 2/3 were expected to stay vegan. For most it was concern for the planet that was making them change their diet.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. - This book is so diverse I adore it! My favorite type of food always has been Asian food.
Transitioning into veganism and finding Asian food to replace all my favorites with meat in it has always been a challenge. Luckily, living in NYC veganism has massively grown and it has become less of a challenge for me to eat my favorites.
East Meets Vegan has all of my favorites and some new dishes I am excited to try. I love to cook and experiment with new ingredients and tools. A lot of the recipes contain items I have never used and I am so delighted for new challenges. With East Meets Vegan, I don't have to spend another dime on take out or dining out! I can find the joy of making new dishes and some old favorites right at the comfort of my home.
East Meets Vegan is the cookbook I have been searching for two years!
Thank you Sasha Gill for making this beautiful book, you are brilliant!
