A Spicy Touch is Noorbanu Nimji's celebration of her North Indian Ismaili Muslim ancestry and the East African cuisine from her homeland in Kenya. Noorbanu collaborates with award-winning food and travel writer Karen Anderson to present more than 200 tried and true family favourites and new recipes. With step-by-step instructions and beautiful photographs, the book includes soups and snacks, samosa-wrapping, main dishes, a chapter on Indian tandoori grilling, vegetables, daal, Indian breads and rice dishes, chutneys and sweets. Many recipes are vegetarian and/or gluten-free and all original recipes have been re-tested and rewritten to reflect the increased availability of ingredients today. There's an extended section on pantry items, and tips and techniques that can only come from a master. Find out for yourself why Noorbanu is considered the expert in her field by people all over the world.--$cProvided by publisher.
