Description:
Over the past 50 years, perhaps more than in any other period, the way we cook and eat has developed and evolved. Social changes and advances in technology have affected cooking styles and culinary tastes, not just in the UK, but in India as well. Modern generations have less time to spend in the kitchen and are more concerned with healthy eating. Cooks today, Indian or otherwise, want to do things differently without losing their traditions. This book is about celebrating traditions while reflecting the changes in Indian cuisine.
The delicious recipes are all both easy to prepare and cook and many have the added benefit of being healthy alternatives to classic favourites. They are perfect dishes for entertaining, from casual get-togethers and barbecues to more elaborate celebratory dinners. The chapters include Back to basics, Snacks and small bites, Picnics and barbecues, Classics, Special occasions and Puddings and desserts. In addition, throughout the book there are fascinating features, giving an insight into the history of Patak's since the family company was founded 50 years ago, as well as anecdotes and stories from Meena.
With stunning photographs and useful tips throughout, Meena Pathak Celebrates Indian Cooking is a must for anyone who enjoys cooking with spices to create delicious, quick and easy dishes, from the authentic to the innovative.
