Have you ever found yourself craving the delightful flavours and spices of your favourite Indian food, only to opt for something else because you lacked the time or perhaps the know-how to recreate an Indian feast at home? Then Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen
is for you.
Monica Bhide is a perfect example of the contemporary Indian American cook, mixing up tradition with contemporary flare and panache. The dishes she presents mirror her multi-cultural up-bringing – she was born in New Delhi, raised in the Middle East and now calls United States her home. Gathering from all the culinary traditions she’s known and grown to love, Modern Spice is the marriage of Bhide’s rich culinary experiences, with the savoir faire passed on for generations. Bhide indeed gives credit where credit is due and speaks fondly of her mother, mother-in-law, and her grandmother’s culinary influences on her own cooking.
The book is broken down into 9 sections : 1) The Modern Spice Pantry, 2) Chutneys and Marinades, 3) Modern Drinks, 4) Appetizers, Snacks and Salads, 5) Vegetables, Beans and Lentils ; 6) Poultry, Meat and Eggs, 7) Fish and Shellfish, 8) Rice and Breads and finally 9) Desserts.
