Vaghaar: A Gujarati cookbook
Indian recipes from my mother's kitchen
More than 70 easy-to-make recipes for Gujarati and modern Indian dishes.
Vaghaar: A Gujarati Cookbook is a selection of more than 70 easy-to-follow Indian recipes that can be achieved in a home kitchen. Author Alissa Lad has compiled some of her favorite family dishes, largely reflective of her Gujarati heritage, but with modern inspiration and flavors.
Vaghaar is the technique of tempering spices to create a layer of flavor which is the foundation of every homemade curry. In her cookbook, Lad offers readers the culinary foundations and confidence to try their hand at some new flavors or techniques with these simple yet delicious dishes anyone can make at home.
Divided into chapters on starters and snacks, curries, breads, desserts, condiments and drinks, Vaghaar includes traditional Gujarati meals like Ringan Pailra nu Shaak (Aubergine & Potato Curry) and Buttery Jeera Chicken, as well as Indian classics Samosas, Daal, and Biryani, and contemporary flavor fusions like Keema Scotch Egg and Masala Shakshuka.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
