Would you recommend one over the other? Worth getting both? Thanks!

Personally, I really like World Vegetarian and I have both. I have never made anything out of World of the East. I know people like both though. I just find World Veg to be very accessible and I have made a lot of recipes from it. I should try to cook something out of World of the East sometime, but I always feel like the recipes seem harder or something.

I own World Vegetarian, and I checked out World of the East from the library a while back. WV seemed better to me, and I never bothered to make anything out of WE before returning it.

I've had World of the East Vegetarian for over 20 years and I love, love, love it. It was the cookbook that introduced me to Indian cooking and taught me to love vegetables :)
I have a couple of her other Indian cookbooks and have made lots of the veggie recipes out of them, most many times.
But I picked up World Vegetarian in a bookstore a few years ago and it didn't really appeal to me. Don't know why, but maybe I should have another look.

I've had both for a long time. World of the East Vegetarian has never appealed to meas much as World Vegetarian, though there are a few good recipes in there (the noodles with peanut sauce recipe is a standby). Other things I've made out of it are mostly good or just ok. However, almost everything I've made out of World Vegetarian was really good or outstanding.
I should probably go back through World of the East Vegetarian, though. I bet there are good recipes in there I just haven't tried.

I also have both. World Vegetarian is much more of a "what do I do with this vegetable in the fridge" book, so I tend to use it a lot more. The other one has less supermarket-friendly ingredients and things like instructions for seitan from scratch (i.e. how to wash the starch out of flour) and adzuki bean jelly. It depends what you're after. If you're looking for Indian, there's also Julie Sahni's quite comprehensive vegetarian book.
