Description:
INDIAN FOOD is the world's most ancient cuisine and it is unique in its remarkable use of spices. Each region uses these spices in its own way, resulting in a wonderfully distinctive range of local dishes. Traditional recipes have been handed down by word of mouth from family to family and are still a major part of the cuisine of India but in the last three decades, India has awakened to the wonders of her own food as shown by the innovative dishes now being prepared by her top chefs.
Pat Chapman has created a fascinating and evocative book on Indian food full of delicious recipes, stories and historical details. The result is a tribute to this remarkable cuisine. In Part 1 he traces the evolution of Indian cuisine and describes the culinary characteristics of the different regions. Part 2 is an in-depth coverage of the utensils, spices, herbs and other ingredients used, as well as basic recipes and preparations common to the cuisine. Finally, Part 3 contains 200 recipes taken from all the regions of India. The recipes consist of best-known regional dishes as well as the most modern innovations and include everything from snacks and street food to meat, fish and vegetable main courses, rice and dais, chutneys, pickles and desserts.
This substantial and informative book will give the reader fascinating background detail to an immensely varied sub-continent, as well as a peerless collection of wonderful recipes.
