A beautifully-written cookbook weaving Indian and Middle Eastern
recipes from her childhood with American dishes she has grown to
love--from the Food Network personality.
AARTI PAARTI: An American Kitchen with an Indian Soul
A collection of memories and 101 recipes from the popular
blogger(www.aartipaarti.com) and Food Network personality. The
recipes will make cooking with traditional Indian flavors and
spices approachable for the US market. Aarti's stories will
dissolve the "foreign-ness" of Indian flavors and make seemingly
complicated technique and flavor accessible. She will take the
intimidation factor out of cooking Indian food by simplifying
traditional recipes, offering many specific how-to's, and also tips
on using traditionally Indian spices in new ways, in everyday
dishes. And there is a streak of Middle Eastern in some of these
recipes given her youth in Dubai.
Recipes include: Cornflake & Kaya French Toast, Real Deal
Hummus, Masala Kale Chips, Mum's Everyday Dal, Sambar (Vegetable
& Lentil Stew), Pregnancy Potatoes (Crispy masala potato
wedges), Indian Street Corn, Saag Paneer, Quinoa Tabbouleh,
Chickpea & Artichoke Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Bombay Sloppy
Joes, Spicy Sticky Lamb Chops, Mango Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Masala
Shrimp & Grits, Homemade "Magic Shell" with Garam Masala &
Sea Salt, Strawberry-Rose Petal Shortcakes. Finally, the narratives
that open each chapter are wonderfully evocative, telling the story
of a woman who was an outsider experiencing many cultures and
cuisines: an Indian in Dubai, going to a British school; an
international student attending Northwestern University to become
an American journalist; and a wife of a Los Angeles man who leaves
her job at CNN and becomes a Food Network Star. She finds that food
always saves her and encourages us all to find the warmth in
cooking.
