Download or read book Teatimes written by Helen Saberi and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teatimes, food historian Helen Saberi takes us on a stimulating journey beyond the fine porcelain, doilies, crumpets, and jam into the fascinating and diverse history of tea drinking. From elegant afternoon teas, hearty high teas, and cricket and tennis teas, to funeral teas, cream teas, and many more, Saberi investigates the whole panoply of teatime rituals and ephemera—including tea gardens, tea dances, tea gowns, and tearooms. We are invited to spend time in the sophisticated salons de thé of Paris and the cozy tearooms of the United States; to enjoy the teatime traditions of Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, where housewives prided themselves on their “well-filled tins”; to sit in on the tea parties of the Raj and Irani cafes in India; to savor teatimes along the Silk Road, where the samovar and chaikhana reign supreme; and to delight in the tasty dim sum of China and the intricate tradition of cha kaiseki in Japan. Steeped in evocative illustrations and recipes from around the world, Teatimes shows how tea drinking has become a global obsession, from American iced tea and Taiwanese bubble tea to the now-classic English afternoon tea. Pinkies up!

Download or read book Shakahaari written by Pritpal Marwaha and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cookbook with a New Twist! There are a lot of Vegetarians all over the world now, as compared to some couple of decades ago, when it was extremely difficult for a Vegetarian to even buy cookies or bread without eggs, wondering what was in the package! You could never really know about the quality and integrity of the contents within. Years ago, being Vegetarians was looked upon with disdain, frowned upon, and sometimes with very surprised looks, as if we were from another planet! It was unbelievable to them as to how a Vegetarian could even survive without meat! We grew up in five countries, and we were constantly on the move for a good 20 years. My father, Atma Singh, was a Diplomat in the Indian Foreign Service, and we did a lot of entertaining and partying, and needed great food – and lots of varieties, too! With my mom, Kuljit’s expert culinary skills, bless her generous heart, we churned out tons of mouth-watering sweet and savoury snacks and foods. I had a first hand experience with the culinary expert, my mom, who improvised and invented recipes. I was amazed that she had all the recipes in her memory, with the exact proportions. She was the darling and life of the party. We were the famous Indian Vegetarian Family! Many recipes in this Book are North Indian, some South Indian as well, with some great contributions from friends and family. We used to make our own fried snacks, homemade Ketchup, Pizzas, sweet and savoury snacks, and even potato chips, crunchies and fried munchies – which is now readily available in many local supermarkets and ethnic food stores. This Book contains wonderful recipes from friends and relatives, adapted to my own special version, which will be of great benefit to both Vegetarians and non-Vegetarians alike, and especially to new Vegetarians. Ofcourse, this book is for anyone and everyone, young and old alike, and especially the new generation.
Download or read book Curry written by Colleen Taylor Sen and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curry is one of the most widely used—and misused—terms in the culinary lexicon. Outside of India, the word curry is often used as a catchall to describe any Indian dish or Indian food in general, yet Indians rarely use it to describe their own cuisine. Curry answers the question, “What is curry?” by giving a lively historical and descriptive account of a dish that has many incarnations. In this global history, food writer Colleen Taylor Sen describes in detail the Anglo-Indian origins of curry and how this widely used spice has been adapted throughout the world. Exploring the curry universe beyond India and Great Britain, her chronicles include the elegant, complex curries of Thailand; the exuberant curry/rotis of the Caribbean; kari/raisu, Japan’s favorite comfort food; Indonesian gulais and rendang; Malaysia’s delicious Nonya cuisine; and exotic Western hybrids such as American curried chicken salad, German currywurst, and Punjabi-Mexican-Hindu pizza. Along the way, Sen unravels common myths about curry and Indian food and illuminates the world of curry with excerpts from popular songs, literary works, historical and modern recipes, and illustrations depicting curry dishes and their preparations. A vibrant, flavorful book about an increasingly popular food, Curry will find a wide audience of cooking enthusiasts and hungry fans of Indian food.
