Beschreibung

"I read your manuscript with real interest - there is a true warmth and charm to the book, and the stories behind the recipe names and the dishes themselves are fascinating and full of life. I can see that these recipes are authentic and they sound delicious."
Natalie Bellos
Bloomsbury Books
"It was fascinating, and you're clearly in possession of a real family treasure - your description of it as a time capsule is also spot-on. I'm grateful to you for sharing it."
Adam Strange

"I enjoyed reading your book - you clearly have great passion for exploring your food heritage, and how rewarding it must have been to research and recreate the recipes handed down through your family, which sound both delicious and intriguing."
Ione Walder

"You have done a wonderful job capturing a glimpse of Anglo-Indian culture and cuisine and I have no doubts that many people would turn to your book time and time again. Your recipes look fabulous and I commend your efforts to bring this book to life."

"One of the tragedies of the 21st century is that we lose the rich traditions of our oral history. The wisdom handed down from generation to generation is often broken and lost as grandparents sporadically communicate with their grandchildren via phone, text messages or skype, rather than spending endless hours planting seeds of sophistication, value and culture of their ancestors in their young minds which often bear fruit only many years later. Jenny has tried to bridge this gap between the traditional and the modern modes of communication by sharing her family history and recipes in this book. It is well presented and interestingly told, intertwined with practical and useful recipes too. If only more women did this, producing delicious food would be a lot easier and the wisdom passed down could possibly make the world a happier place. I would suggest as many people as possible to read, absorb and pass on this book. It is something that every woman can relate to, can learn from and can use, in order to try and leave a lasting legacy behind."

Portrait

Winner of "Best in World" Cookbook 2017, as self publisher by the Gourmand World Cookbook Society, Jenny Mallin's earliest memories are of her mother in the kitchen, tapping a wooden spoon against the side of the metal dekshi and then tasting her curry sauce, checking the seasoning. From that moment, Jenny was hooked...
With her passions for cooking, India, research and writing, the outcome has been a labour of love - a memoir which mingles the history of her family, which goes right back to 1844 and British Raj India, with her grandmothers' recipes that were prudently passed down through the generations. Each recipe has been lovingly researched, leading Jenny on a road of discovery about her ancestors, with her grandmothers' legacy continuing to assist in providing clues to their rich and eventful past.
Her recent tour of India in December 2015 appeared to have been orchestrated by some magic wand, whether it was Bangalore or Calcutta, Bombay or Madras, Delhi or Pondicherry, Jenny had well-nigh the best reception that one could ever get - in terms of locale, agenda or audience response. In Bombay she pulled off a four day Anglo Indian food festival at a top hotel with panache. One look at the menu and you go weak in the knees.
There is certainly something about Jenny. More than chronicling the saga of her family, more than dishing out the celebrity dishes with a gentle touch, more than making the world sit up to Anglo-Indian cuisine, she has for all we know, emerged as the finest ambassador yet of the Anglo-Indian community.
