Mangoes & Curry Leaves

Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid have created a substantial, deeply enticing work that is 1/3 cookbook, 1/3 travel journal, and 1/3 photographic odyssey of the Great Subcontinent. Gathering recipes from five countries--Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka--the husband and wife team have created a fantastic reference source for both food and travel of this exotic region. After beginning with a brief cultural and culinary background for each country, they present recipes in categories such as Chutneys, Salsas & Sambols, Breads, and Street Foods, Snacks & Drinks. Dotted among recipes such as Katchhi Village Potato Curry, Baked Goan Fish with Fresh Green Chile Chutney, and Sweet Yogurt Sundae with Saffron and Pistachios are essays detailing the authors` amazing experiences. Accompanied by stunning full-color and B&W photographs, this is a suitable companion to the phenomenal cookbook about Southeast Asia, HOT SOUR SALTY SWEET. With glossary, pantry suggestions, bibliography, and notes on photography. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
