It is a gorgeous little book.

Sher–I think a book club would have great fun discussing this–especially if you can get together and cook the recipes from the book. (Wouldn’t that make a great blog post?)

Ashwini–I have three more new Indian cookbooks to review. You are so going to be cranky with me, aren’t you? ;-)

Thank you for the information on the wee gherkins. I might try the goan stir fry–that sounds good and quick for lunch for me.

Shirley–Try Dian Abu Jaber’s memoir, The Language of Baklava. I haven’t read it yet, but I have heard nothing but good of it.

Are you aware of similar books written by Narayan or other writers?

I am going to have to break the bank soon :-)
Seriously thanks for sharing your knowledge. Must buy it now.
Heres a link to my post on gherkin – http://food-forthought.blogspot.com/2006/02/everything-tastes-better-with-cashews.html
A note though – Its a Goan stir fry, not the usual vegetable preparation of India (ie. no garam masala).
And I just realised my mistake. Gherkin = tondli in Marathi and tindora in Hindi (I wrote tinda in my earlier comment.
Have you tuned out completely by now?!!

From your description, it’s the type of book I like to read. I’ll also recommend it to my book club.
