That nineteenth century sailors used to eat potatoes to fight scurvy? That Ayurveda considers rice the perfect healing food? That George Bernard Shaw was a brinjal-loving vegetarian? That turmeric could be anti-carcinogenic? That urad dal is an aphrodisiac?Ratna Rajaiah takes a walk down memory lane, only to find it redolent with the aromas of her mother's and grandmother's kitchens, and lined with the spices and condiments of her youth.

Taking detours, she shares recipes for old favourites (often with a surprising twist!) and reveals delightful slivers of trivia and fascinating nuggets of gastronomic history.Delving deep, she discovers that traditional fare is much more than comfort food (many local ingredients are health-giving and healing too!) and that much of what the West is discovering about herbs and spices has been known to our ancestors for centuries.An unabashed and wonderful ode to the blessings of simple, traditional vegetarian food.About the AuthorRatna Rajaiah has worked in advertising, television and journalism.

Delicioso
Spanish cuisine is a melting-pot of cultures, flavors, and ingredients: Greek and Roman; Jewish, Moorish, and Middle Eastern. It has been enriched by Spanish climate, geology, and spectacular topography, which have encouraged a variety of regional food traditions and "Cocinas," such as Basque, Galician, Castilian, Andalusian, and Catalan. It has been shaped by the country's complex history, as foreign occupations brought religious and cultural influences that determined what people ate and still eat. And it has continually evolved with the arrival of new ideas and foodstuffs from Italy, France, and the Americas, including cocoa, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, and chili peppers. Having become a powerhouse of creativity and innovation in recent decades, Spanish cuisine has placed itself among the best in the world. This is the first book in English to trace the history of the food of Spain from antiquity to the present day. From the use of pork fat and olive oil to the Spanish passion for eggplants and pomegranates, Mar穩a Jos矇 Sevilla skillfully weaves together the history of Spanish cuisine, the circumstances affecting its development and characteristics, and the country's changing relationship to food and cookery.

Mazel Tov!
Mazel Tov is a collection of Jewish recipes and profiles of celebrated chefs from around the world. The book divides 21 chefs into 3 regional groups: Middle East, Old World, and New World. American readers may recognize chefs Molly Yeh (Girl Meets Farm, Food Network), Leah Koenig (author of "The Jewish Cookbook" et al.), and Adeena Sussman (author of "Sababa" and "Cravings" with Chrissy Teigen). Mazel Tov will introduce readers to potentially unfamiliar names, such as the Ardinast brothers in Germany, Gil Havov in Israel, and Jacob Kenedy in London. Each profile tells the story of how these chefs came to cooking. They talk about the people in their lives who influenced their cooking most, or how the region provides ingredients that give their recipes a new twist. The book includes recipes for pickles, breads, and gefilte fish. Some dishes and accompaniments, like pan cooked fish and sauces, are influenced by Tunisian and Yemeni grandmothers. Other recipes include zhug, kubaneh, carrot salad, gefilte fish, kreplach, borscht, pickles, many with little tweaks and updates from the chef. What sets these recipes apart from traditional Jewish recipes are the multicultural chefs who modernize them with current popular ingredients or flavors. Their regional influences create inspiration for home cooks in the US to try updated versions of popular traditional recipes. The book also introduces traditional Jewish dishes from regions that might not be familiar to American Jewish tables. The recipes are not kosher, but can be adapted. Perfect for blended families.
Africali
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF 2024: The New York Times, Bon Appetit, Saveur, Food & Wine, Los Angeles Times, and Food Network Turn readily available ingredients and pantry staples into easy yet flavorful weeknight meals and dinner party dishes that celebrate a unique fusion of Nigerian, Kenyan, and Californian cuisines. From jollof rice and Swahili chicken biriyani to spice blends and peri-peri recipes, discover the best of African flavors and Cali flair--without ever leaving your kitchen. Kiano Moju was born to a Kenyan mother and a Nigerian father and raised in California. While she spent her summer breaks in Kenya, her home in the states during the school year held African house parties where Nigerian jollof rice, moin moin (steamed bean cakes), roasted chicken legs, and plantains were a common part of life. On weekends and special occasions, they would make Kenyan dishes like samosas, sauteed collard greens, barbecued meat, and other favorites from her childhood including Ethiopian and Eritrean recipes. As Kiano says, "Californian cuisine embraces the flavors of its immigrant communities while celebrating the state's agriculture and the flavors of fresh produce," and that's the concept behind her cooking. AfriCali is not a traditional cookbook, but rather one inspired by the delicious meals Kiano has experienced in life. The recipes are unfussy but dedicated to flavor including: Peri Peri Butter Herby Harissa Lentil Nuggets Cherry Tomato Kachumbari Kijani Seafood Pilau Chicken and Okra Wet Fry Berbere Braised Short Ribs Coconut and Cardamom Mandazi Garlic Butter Chapos Pili Pili Pineapple Margarita The gorgeous food photography as well as photos from the author's travels in Africa make this a cookbook like no other.

Pomegranates and Artichokes
From photographer and food writer Saghar Setareh comes a cookbook full of rich new recipes that show how ingredients and recipes-unconstrained by borders-are shared and transformed through the immigrant experience. When Iranian writer and food photographer Saghar Setareh moved to Italy at the age of 22, she was enchanted by the rich food culture of her adopted country, and this inspired a curiosity in the cuisine of her homeland and the surrounding countries of the Levant and Eastern Mediterranean. Pomegranates and Artichokes is the story of Saghar's own culinary journey from Iran to Italy, in which she describes the many parallels that link Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food cultures, and shows how ingredients and recipes-unconstrained by borders-are shared and transformed through the immigrant experience. Divided into three sections representing stops on Saghar's culinary "road trip"--Iran, In Between, and Italy-this book features more than 80 recipes celebrating the foods of these regions. Among the highlights are a simple Iranian breakfast platter, a celebratory Persian feast, Sicilian-style stuffed artichokes, guinea hen braised with pomegranate, sweet-sour meatballs from Aleppo, a Roman ricotta and wild cherry pie, and a velvety Middle Eastern milk pudding. Illustrated with Saghar's own beautiful photography and peppered with personal insights and experiences, Pomegranates and Artichokes tells the story of two food cultures, and the delicious space in between.
