Back to Madhur Jaffrey

Flavours of India: Recipes from Kerala, Goa, Gujarat, Punjab, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, by #MadhurJaffrey

As I've mentioned, my first two books on Indian cooking were by Jaffrey. I was attracted to this one as I had been in Goa and Karnataka on my first trip to India. And oh boy, some of the recipes have become FFFs (Family and Friends' Favourites). Some friends still call me to tell me that they've cooked so-and-so dish, sometimes for guests or for xmas, or just for themselves. ❤️

Thanks Madhur 🙇‍♀️

Plus (and it's a big plus) this book sits flat when open to a recipe, unlike the other Jaffrey cookbook that I have. That one needs to be weighted with my mortar and pestle to sit open.
