Mangoes & Curry Leaves by Jeffrey Alford
For this companion volume to the award-winning Hot Sour Salty Sweet, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid travel west from Southeast Asia to that vast landmass the colonial British called the Indian Subcontinent. It includes not just India, but extends north to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal and as far south as Sri Lanka, the island nation so devastated by the recent tsunami. For people who love food and cooking, this vast region is a source of infinite variety and eye-opening flavors. Home cooks discover the Tibetan-influenced food of Nepal, the Southeast Asian tastes of Sri Lanka, the central Asian grilled meats and clay-oven breads of the northwest frontier, the vegetarian cooking of the Hindus of southern India and of the Jain people of Gujarat. It was just twenty years ago that cooks began to understand the relationships between the multifaceted cuisines of the Mediterranean; now we can begin to do the same with the foods of the Subcontinent.Naomi Duguid is a world traveler, writer, photographer, teacher, and cook. Her most recent cookbook, Burma, was awarded the 2013 IACP Cookbook Award for Culinary Travel and the Taste Canada Food Writing Award for bringing news of a long-forgotten area of the world. Flatbreads & Flavors: A Baker's Atlas, her debut book, won a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year; Seductions of Rice; Hot Sour Salty Sweet, also a James Beard Cookbook of the Year; Mangoes & Curry Leaves; and Beyond the Great Wall, all co-authored with Jeffrey Alford. Duguid's images and articles have appeared in Lucky Peach, Food & Wine, and other publications on a regular basis. She is a regular presenter and guest speaker at food conferences.
She hosts the Food on Cinema series in Toronto and maintains a strong online presence (Twitter and Facebook). While she's not on the road, she lives in Toronto, where her stock photo agency, Asia Access, is situated.
