Jackfruit and Blue Ginger

When Sasha Gill turned vegan, she didn't want to miss out on the vibrant flavours of her favourite Asian dishes - so she got to work 'veganising' them. Studying medicine in the UK, far from her childhood home in Singapore, Sasha is a student who understands what it is to be short on time and budget; most of her recipes don't take long or demand expensive ingredients. Through constant experimenting, she started to create dishes just as delicious and satisfying as her street-stall favourites and family dinners - only using plants in place of meat and fish.Sasha takes inspiration from all the flavours of Asia - for Jackfruit biryani, Cauliflower samosas, Fluffy peanut pancake, Creamy spinach curry with crispy tofu, Shiitake ramen, Vegan 'butter chicken', Sweet potato and onion pakoras, Tofu pad thai and Peking jackfruit pancakes. She includes traditional sweet treats such as Pandan and coconut dumplings, Cardamom-infused kulfi, Mango sticky rice and Vegan Hong Kong 'egg' tarts.
