Reza's Indian Spice

Product Description

Reza Mahammad's passion & unstoppable enthusiasm for Indian flavours are irresistible. The charming flamboyant TV chef & owner of the Star of India restaurant in Kensington London now brings his flair for evolving the tastes of India to a new book. With his informal style free-thinking attitude & an encyclopaedic knowledge of his country's authentic food Reza combines the Indian flavours & dishes we love with the easily available ingredients of the west with stunning results. Arranged to be ultimately reader-friendly the core of the book is divided into Quick but Chic dishes that can be assembled in minutes for everyday eating; Slow Burners for laidback entertaining that cook themselves while you relax; funky Show Off dishes for when you want to impress; & our beloved Classic Curries. A section of delicious desserts & a chapter on breads & basics completes the book. The 100 recipes are fresh & modern: try spice-crusted halibut with a mint sauce duck breasts with tamarind & sesame an Indian-spiced take on aubergine tempura or even throw some spicy chicken burgers on the grill. The real genius of Reza's book though is its commitment to seasonal western ingredients such as a passion for rhubarb in all its forms giving a refreshing rhubarb lassi or light spiced chicken with rhubarb & spinach. The stunning photographs bring in all the colours of India with more than a touch of Bollywood pzazz.
