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, <em> The Language of Baklava.</em> I haven't read it yet, but I have heard nothing but good of it. Lindy–I don’t know why it is not a best-seller.

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?!!
