Fresh Flavors of India

Here is Indian food as never before: fresh and healthy ingredients, vibrant flavors, and best of all, simple recipes that anyone can master. Chef and restaurateur Das Sreedharan is at the forefront of contemporary Asian cooking, on a mission to introduce the world to the light, home-style dishes of his native Kerala. The vegetarian meals he has created excite the taste buds with such flavorful components as chilies, cashew nuts, mangos, ginger, tamarind and cumin. And they're all combined to delicious effect in crisp snacks to serve with piquant chutneys, crisp, refreshing salads, curries made creamy with yogurt and coconut milk, cooling drinks, delicious desserts, and refreshing ices. Beautiful images by top food photographer David Loftus present it all in colorful style.
