Indian Cuisine

2. • About the Book
• I have wrote this book to describe one of the world’s most diverse cuisines,
characterized by its sophisticated and subtle use of the many spices, vegetables,
grains and fruits grown across India. The cuisine of each geographical region
includes a wide assortment of dishes and cooking techniques reflecting the varied
demographics of the ethnically diverse Indian states.
Cooking can be a wondrous adventure, especially with a thorough understanding
of the history and origins of food, a grasp of the cultures and environments
involved, and an appreciation for those who over the years have played key roles
in its development.
Becoming more familiar with indian cusisne words, and finding out the
background behind a food or an ingredient, ensures a well-prepared dish and
adds to the pleasure of serving it. For any cook, this authoritative and fascinating
book is an outstanding reference and cookbook companion.
