Editorial Reviews: For this companion volume to the award-winning Hot Sour Salty Sweet, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid travel west from Southeast Asia to that vast landmass the colonial British called the Indian Subcontinent. It includes not just India, but extends north to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal and as far south as Sri Lanka, the island nation so devastated by the recent tsunami. For people who love food and cooking, this vast region is a source of infinite variety and eye-opening flavors. Home cooks discover the Tibetan-influenced food of Nepal, the Southeast Asian tastes of Sri Lanka, the central Asian grilled meats and clay-oven breads of the northwest frontier, the vegetarian cooking of the Hindus of southern India and of the Jain people of Gujarat. It was just twenty years ago that cooks began to understand the relationships between the multifaceted cuisines of the Mediterranean; now we can begin to do the same with the foods of the Subcontinent.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Best cooking book I own Comment: I thought about this book for a while before purchasing, and I wish I hadn't waited so long. This book is my absolute favorite, and I cook something new from this book 1-2 times a week. The pictures are beautiful, recipes easy to follow, and I love the stores intertwined with the recipes. It's really a beautiful coffee-table type book that lives in my kitchen. I highly recommend this book! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent, Informative and Engaging Cookbook/Diary Comment: Plain and simple,..a must-have book. The recipes are well written and clear, the authors stories about their travels through the sub-continent are interesting and lend to their credibility, and they also have fantastic pictures, as well as information as to where to buy some of the more exotic ingredients...this book lacks nothing. Customer Rating: Summary: Mangoes & Curry Leaves: Culinary Travels Through the Great Subcontinent Comment: A beautiful book that can be a coffee table book, cookbook, and an adventurous travel read. It has gorgeous colorful pictures with short vignettes about the recipes and people of India. It will transport you to a different world and the cooks will not be disappointed with the unique recipes. Customer Rating: Summary: Finally tried some of the recipes - all turned out great! Comment: I've had this book for about three months, and have flipped through it many times, but this weekend I finally bought the staple ingredients that many of the recipes needed, and tried out three of them. They all turned out delicious! Don't be put off by strange ingredients, they were all very cheap, and easy to cook with. Customer Rating: Summary: Book of travels not recipes Comment: The pictures and stories of the travels through the region are fabulous, but if you are looking for good instrutctions and pictures of the recipes, this is not the cookbook you are looking for.
