| Many of you are familiar with Huma Siddiqui and the
wonderful cooking classes she has presented numerous times here at
the coop. We are pleased to offer her new book, Jasmine
In Her Hair, as this month's book feature. As well as many
delicious recipes, Siddiqui shares with us an unusually personal account
of the culture—and food—of Pakistan, her homeland. The
book is filled with accounts of Pakistani daily life and celebrations
and of course recipes to accompany each event. The abundance of colorful
photos is the perfect icing on the cake. Most of Siddiqui's recipes
can be quickly prepared on top of the stove, making this cuisine with
its rich layers of flavors perfect for summer cooking, though you
may choose to follow your meal with something cold and frosty like
a mango lassi rather than a warm masala chai tea. Whatever your choice
Jasmine In Her Hair will satisfy your cravings
until the next Pakistani cooking class! Enjoy! |
