Description

Warm and flavorful, with subtle notes of cedar and anise, the nuance of cumin lingers like perfume. This golden spice originated in the Nile Valley, but has become indispensable the world over: in Mexican mole, Texas chili powder, Indian garam masala and curry, and Moroccan ras-el-hanout, a complex spice mixture custom-blended in bazaars and used in rice and couscous, lamb, game, and almond-and-honey sweets. Cumin is ground from the seeds of the flowering annual cuminum cyminum, a relative of parsley sometimes grouped with dill, caraway, fennel, and anise. Cumin was known in biblical times, and spread along spice routes to the ancient Mediterranean, Asia Minor, South Asia, and beyond. More recently, cumin enriched the baking of Central and Eastern Europe; it may have arrived in the second century during the campaigns of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. Cumin’s affinity for dried beans shines in split pea soup and in dal, a richly spiced puree of yellow lentils. It flavors many snacks, vegetable dishes, yogurt condiments, and cooling drinks of Pakistan and Northern India. In Greece, sausages of minced lamb, onion, and garlic are spiced with fragrant cumin and served in savory tomato sauce, while in Spain cumin, saffron, and cinnamon season rich stews.

If you’d like to know the secrets of turning ordinary dishes into tasty cooking miracles… using common seasonings available most anywhere (you probably have them already!)... Then you’ve found the right book!The history of the use of seasonings is almost as along as the history of humans. The use of seasonings for food started in an accidental way when primitive humans discovered that the leaves, grasses, twigs and sticks that they used to prepare and cook their food and also wrapped leftover food in changed the taste of that food. For centuries people didn’t know of any way to preserve the food that they had cooked to keep it fresh so the food that was available usually smelled and tasted pretty bad. Using seasonings was a good way to mask the bad smell and taste and also keep the food a little bit fresher. Spices and seasonings were integral in the development of trade routes and even though the spice merchants had a stranglehold on the spice and seasonings market wherever the spice merchants went other businesses would crop up because they know that wealthy customers would flock to the spice merchants. Spices and seasonings these days are relatively inexpensive because they are much more common and much easier to find than in the past.And that's good, because seasonings... and their right use are...

Description

Indian cuisine is appreciated the world over but many of the delicious yet rich traditional dishes, although pleasing to the palate, are prepared contrary to today's healthy eating message of 'eat less fat, especially saturated fat'. In this guide, special effort has been made to avoid the use of unhealthy ingredients such as ghee, cream and butter by using them sparingly or by substituting them with unsaturated vegetable oil. But there is no compromise with the flavour. With the emphasis mainly on North Indian cuisine, dishes range from delicious starters, fish, meat, chicken and vegetable main courses, to tasty accompaniments such as vegetable side dishes, yoghurt-based dishes, rice and breads. And there is a collection of scrumptious desserts for those with a sweet tooth. Indian food does not consist solely of curries but rather of a great variety of dishes in which a combination of different spices and herbs is used. Indian food need not be hot either. The only spice that makes Indian food hot is the chilli, and this can be left out or the amount adjusted according to taste. Enjoy this vast variety of recipes provided by one of India's best-known cooks.
