In this new cookbook, author Rinku Bhattacharya combines her two great lovesIndian cooking and sustainable livingto give readers a simple, accessible way to cook seasonally, locally, and flavorfully. Inspired by the bounty of local produce, mostly from her own backyard, Rinku set out to create recipes for busy, time-strapped home cooks who want to blend Indian flavors into nutritious family meals. Youll find more than 150 recipes for tempting fare like Mango and Goat Cheese Mini Crisps, Roasted Red Pepper Chutney, Crisped Okra with Dry Spice Rub, Smoky Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Puree, and Red Harvest Masala Cornish Hens, to name a few. As exotic and enticing as these recipes sound, the ingredients are easily found and the instructions are simple. Foreword by chef and author Suvir Saran.
