Part of the Blue Elephant Group, the acclaimed La Porte des Indes
restaurants in London and Brussels offer a unique style of Indian
cookery inspired by the French cuisine of Pondicherry and other
former French trading posts in Southern India. Now you can cook the
restaurants' famed fusion dishes at home thanks to the
La Porte des Indes Cookbook by
Mehernosh and Sherin Mody, the head chef and the manager of the
London branch respectively.
Introductory chapters cover the ingredients and equipment used in
Indian cooking, as well as teas and suitable wines to drink. These
are followed by over 80 recipes for starters, soups, seafood,
poultry, vegetables, rice, bread and desserts.
Recipes are clearly written and give helpful advice on obtaining
unusual ingredients. The photography by award-winning Belgian
photographer Tony Le Duc only adds to the book's magic. This one is
a must buy by any standard. |
