Considering the book won the third place for Best Vegetarian Book in the world at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, oddly, even before being published, it was a pragmatic strategy. The recipes are quite delightful even though many of them offer ambiguous measurements: the karuveppilai kuzhambu a curry-leaf sauce asks for a handful of curry leaves, the boiled potato salad, urulai kizhangu podimas, requires 3 potatoes to be boiled and roughly mashed.

This can be quite annoying since we have come to expect cookbooks to provide very specific quantities. While some old aunties might take issue with the end result, for someone unfamiliar with the cuisine the results are quite, quite satisfying.

Most of the recipes are vaguely familiar but some like orange tholi thogayal, an orange peel chutney and orange tholi and narthangai pachadi, two kinds of marmalade-murabbas are quite unusual. The book has some interesting touches: at the end of some recipes the authors have included tips on how to adapt the dishes to a global palate.

Mixing in grated mozzarella to the kosmari is one suggestion, adapting the vegetable-lentil crumble, paruppu araitha kalaral for a sandwich or bread roll filling is another.

And why do the Iyengars make onions cry? Like many strict vegetarians in India, the cuisine of this Tamilian Brahmin community excludes the most ubiquitous vegetable on the planet. Key Features - Covering a total of 60 recipes with individual variations, the book is fruitful and has been enhanced with uncomplicated ways to cook and photographs with delicious looking dishes.

Cultural moorings of the cuisine have been enrolled in the book, providing readers the necessary insights for intellectual premise beneath a festival spread. The book also enriches its readers through health benefits and cultural knowledge of these dishes. About the Author: Vijee Krishnan and Nandini Sivakumar wrote six cookbooks out of which two have been translated into French and Tamil and won Gourmand Awards in seven categories.
