Dinner and a Show is more about the show and getting your own dinner

Bollywood Kitchen by Sri Rao

August 4, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader 3 Comments

Bingo 8: Bollywood Book title: Bollywood Kitchen. Explanation for square done, except to point out that this book is not a book about food in Bollywood movies, it’s a book about food inspired by how the author remembers or perceives a handful of contemporary Bollywood films. So that means things like a family drama film paired with a Thanksgiving tinged family dinner (spiced roast chicken, sweet/savory pumpkin, and cashew fried rice); or the Shakespeare adaptation of Hamlet paired with butternut squash soup and Himalayan shepherds […]

I say ‘some sort’ because I do […]

Untested Triple-Threat-ish

Indian-ish by Priya Krishna

May 10, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Personal current rule: I am not allowed to start working through a new cookbook until I finish with the current one. I’m close, and should be able to start a new cookbook by about mid-June. That hasn’t stopped me from building up a small pile of potential successors, including Indian-ish. This means that I have read through the book, but not yet tried anything from it. This book is really three things at once: an introduction to Indian cooking (both in terms of ingredients and […]
