"Full of rich delicious prose, and even more delicious recipes,
this wonderful story of one Indian family, and the memories and
meals they shared over generations, gives fresh meaning to the term
'soul food'"Meera Syal
Through the personal story of Yasmin's family, food, and recipes
they've shared together, "The Settler's Cookbook" tells the history
of Indian migration to the UK via East Africa. Her family was part
of the mass exodus from India to East Africa during the height of
British imperial expansion, fleeing famine and lured by the
prospect of prosperity under the empire. In 1972, expelled from
Uganda by Idi Amin, they moved to the UK, where Yasmin has made her
home with an Englishman. The food she cooks now combines the
traditions and tastes of her family's hybrid history. Here you'll
discover how shepherd's pie is much enhanced by sprinkling in some
chilli, Victoria sponge can be enlivened by saffron and lime, and
the addition of ketchup to a curry can be life-changing.
