From the Table of My Memory - Food, Travel, Friends - A Memoir with Recipes (Paperback)

This book takes one from the pungency of the Durban market to the beauties of Kashmir, from the Silver Palate gourmet shop in New York to the gardens of England. It is a memoir of friendships, foreign places, the delights of the palate, and the enjoyment of life. The author has traveled extensively and the book reflects a growing international and local trend for people on the move, at home in more cultures than just one, with a taste for more adventurous eating. The collection of recipes is interwoven with reminiscences of the people and places that have inspired the author through the years. The common thread joining the variety of dishes in this food memoir is the author's enthusiasm for good food and the joy she has found in cooking for friends and family.The recipes are tried and tested and peppered with useful cooking tips. "East meets West" is the unofficial motto of the author's kitchen.
