Description


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.


Customer reviews for 'Mangoes & Curry Leaves: Culinary Travels Through the Great Subcontinent'

Best cooking book I own

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!

Excellent, Informative and Engaging Cookbook/Diary

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.
