Sri Lanka: The Cookbook by Prakash K Sivanathan
Feather-light hoppers, fiery sambols, subtly spiced curries and unique 'vada' (fried snacks) come together in this definitive collection of Sri Lanka's most authentic and vibrant recipes. As Sri Lanka is being rediscovered a travel destination, its varied cuisine is also under the spotlight. As well as absorbing influences from India, the Middle East, Far East Asia and myriad European invaders, the small island also has strong Singhalese and Tamil cooking traditions and this cookbook brings these styles together to showcase the best of the country's culinary heritage. Dig into 100 recipes that celebrate the island's wonderful ingredients, from okra and jackfruit to coconut and chillies, and explore its culture through original travel photography of the country, its kitchens and its people.* Waitrose Food *
Husband and wife duo, Kannan (Prakash) and Niranjala, were both born and raised in Sri Lanka. Niranjala, a Sinhalese from the island’s south, and Kannan, a Thamil from the north, together bring a rich blend of cultural perspectives.
They previously ran the award-winning Sri Lankan restaurant Elephant Walk in Hampstead, London, for eight successful years.
Driven by a shared passion for travel and an intimate knowledge of Sri Lanka’s history, heritage, and landscapes, they began curating bespoke luxury holidays – first to Sri Lanka and the nearby Maldives. Today, their offerings have expanded to include the stunning islands of Mauritius and the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
