Overview
Biting Biting features recipes for fast, easy, 100% vegetarian and vegan snacks that can be knocked up at speed using leftovers and store-cupboard ingredients. Enter a world of Gujarati-style snacking, where nothing is wasted and every recipe can turn into a whole range of snacks. So a simple Potato Shaak (or curry) can be re-purposed as a samosa, or served up on toast with an egg, or stuffed into a parotha or flatbread. Even if you've nothing in the cupboard but a tin of baked beans, you can make Baked Bean Curry, or why not try revolutionising your lunch with Cumin-spiced Cheese on Toast or the Cheese & Chevro (or Bombay Mix) Sandwich? Discover more classic 'bitings' such as Reveya (Peanut Stuffed Aubergine) and Patta Ganthiya (gram flour crispbreads) alongside her uncle's legendary BBQ Green Bananas, a full chapter of bhajiya (pakora) and some suggestions for delicious Sweet Biting. With fresh chutneys you can make in moments in a blender and advice on what to keep in your fridge to provide optimum ingredients for Biting, you will never be stuck for a snack again.

Reviews
'I'm a big lover of having lots of flavours on my table and Urvashi's book of stories and recipes gives me so much joy for lots of lovely recipes for every occasion. Flavours are very much bold in line with her heritage, but there are so many clever twists and innovations that really do make this a book for everyday cooking and feasting. The Beer Snacks section will definitely be where I'll head to first, for small plates, perfect for sharing and snacking on. This book is a real gem!' -- Sabrina Ghayour 'This book is a journey into a whole new world of flavour, texture and spice! Brilliant recipes from a region in India renowned for its snacks and innovative dishes using beans and lentils' -- Asma Khan 'A joyful cookbook, grounded in famly life, Biting Biting is crammed with appetising recipes - and I want to cook them all! Here are recipes for enlivening treats such as spiced puff pastry palmiers, crispy potato fritters and jaggery fudge with sesame, and Urvashi's voice - humorous, warm, practical - leaps off the page, making her a great guide to the joys of snacking Gujurati-style' -- Jenny Linford
