... in fact it has been a morning of browsing new cookbooks online, lusting after some of course, but I decided not to buy any new ones this month at least. I could be tempted by the first one though...

Bali was different back then, and nicer.

Greenfeast - Autumn, Winter, by Nigel Slater

I always adore Nige's* books, and even tho the weather is still late-Summer/early-Autumn weather, I feel like I should dive into his Autumn-Winter book. His recipes are always simple, and feel like he's just gone out into the garden and picked the ingredients. My type of book indeed.

Food Memories of Migrant Women, by Mumbai Mobile Creches

Migrants in India are people who have moved from rural to urban areas, temporarily or permanently, looking for better opportunities and a more sustainable livelihood.

For example, India’s construction industry depends on migrant workers. The wives who accompany them are likely to work at the construction site or elsewhere. With migration, many of these women leave behind the secrets of their regional cuisine, carrying only the memories associated with their food with them.

This book captures a few recipes from those women, mainly yummy snacks and recipes you may not find in cookbooks.

This link will download the cookbook: http://mumbaimobilecreches.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MMC-Cookbook.pdf

Roots: The Definitive Compendium, by Diane Morgan

Not vegetarian but a lot of recipes without meat etc.

I love that it has recipes for unusual (at least here) roots like lotus root, taro, jicama, etc amongst the more common roots. Also some that I have never heard of, or heard of and never seen in shops. (I can get lotus root, taro and jicama at my local Asian shops.)

What cookbook is down from the shelves and being browsed at your place today? What are you planning to cook on the long weekend (#Australia)?

Today I am flicking through:

Salt Sugar Smoke: How to Preserve Fruit, Vegetables, Meat, and Fish by Diana Henry

A nice book to browse.

No ferments in the book, but oh lots of smoking hot chilli preserves, including lots of Thai-based pastes and chilli jams.

#CookbookBrowsing #Cookbooks #Preserving #food

A jar of pickles, or is it a ferment? Cherries on the table with some pips and stems.

PARTY!

A book released in the 1990's to aid the AIDS Council of Victoria, and bring joy to people in this frightening era.

"Not since angels first went horseback has there been such uninhibited celebration of the way we do the thing we all do best: get down and party! So pack away the curried prawns and aunty's pav with the organza memories of parties past - and welcome the turn of the millennium. Pages and pages of good looks, good people, good food and ninety or so highly entertaining recipes you'll need to heat up the action at your place. The people who put this cook book together did it for free - but they didn't do it for nothing."

I picked this up in a second hand shop a long time ago. I don't think I have cooked anything from the book, but it is a book of joy and delightful to browse the tiny finger foods of parties in the 1990's.

Samayal: The Pleasures of South Indian Vegetarian Cooking by Viji Varadarajan

A collection of Ayurvedic-friendly TamBram recipes from Tamil Nadu with a bit of Kerala influence.

Samayal means "cooking" or "the process of cooking".

Black and grey striped cover, pic of Indian spices in a traditional holder. Text in gold and white.

I have also been browsing #TheUdupiKitchen by #MalatiSrinivasan - I have cooked a number of dishes from this book, and all are marked "Divine!", "Gorgeous", "So good!" and similar. I hadn't realised that this was the case, until I started browsing through it.

Udupi is one of the food capitals of South India. It is not surprising that the recipes of a 95 yr old, recorded by her daughter as her mother writes them from memory, are fabulous. She wrote out 175 recipes, 100 of which appear in this book. I would have loved to have seen the other 75.

The cookbooks that have really good recipes for my #NaturopathPrescribedDiet are all Ayurvedic cookbooks with simple, Indian dishes.

This one is included. Not all recipes are Ayurvedic in this book (she does have one focused solely on Ayurveda). And not all are Indian-style recipes. But they are all simple and good. And vegetarian.

Living Ahimsa Diet: Nourishing Love & Life, by Maya Tiwari

A good one to browse today and refocus life.

I am hoping to have Thali tonight, at the place that makes awesome kulcha. If I wasn't I'd probably be cooking from this book:

From Gujarat, With Love, by Vina Patel (#Vegetarian)

I've made several dishes from this book, and there are standouts. The chole. An eggplant chaat. The scrambled eggs that also work for scrambled tofu. Some of the dals.

Gujarati food is good food.

Indian Vegetarian Cooking, by Devagi Sanmugam

I love the range of mini Indian cookbooks that are available in lots of places in SE Asia and India. The recipes are always well tested and easy to make. This booklet has 36 recipes and I have cooked ⅓ of them. My annotations against the recipes are along the lines of "Delicious!", "Divine".
