5 Stars fabulous informative cookbook
The photos are stunning. I love learning more about the spices origins and how they can be used. I made my first meal last Sunday - a lamb stew that was delicious and easy to prepare. The smell in my kitchen was fabulous. I even bought a mortar and pestle the other day so that I will be able to grind my own spices. Can’t wait to have more time to try more recipes.

Cabbage and Carrot Indian Curry

Cabbage must be one of the most cross-functional vegetables. They appear more international in various cuisines - Western, Chinese, Indian, Malay etc., compared to a vegetable such as Bok Choy (there must be a reason why Bok Choy is typically classified under Chinese Vegetable) which I would almost never see in Indian food or Malay food, unless you do a fusion of cuisine, just like how I attempted to use Bok Choy in Beef and Mushroom Pasta . I vary cuisines in my cooking, quite of

Mexican Food - A Closer Look

By Christine Szalay Kudra Just like the United States, Mexico is a large country and its cuisine is anything but monolithic, with many regional variants in style. Each state of Mexico has its own different culinary specialties and there are dishes, which are popular in one part of the country while being exceedingly rare elsewhere.
