Olsson (Bowls of Goodness) here defines the elements of a perfect veggie burger and presents globally inspired variations such as saffron freekeh burger, banh mi burger, and Bombay burger. Her recipes employ an easy method: ingredients are pulsed in a food processor and shaped into patties, which get cooked and paired with buns and toppings. Condiment recipes are abundant, but somewhat misleadingly, the recipes for buns or sweets are next to none. Exceptions include classic brioche buns (absent from the "B" section of the index) and a sweet date and raspberry treat (a vegan ice cream sandwich).
VERDICT Gorgeous photographs, creative recipes, and a timely topic make this worth considering. Editorial errors are noticeable but won't cause failures.
