80 dishes connecting cultures and cuisines.
Radhika Howarth has penned a beautifully presented cookbook with a very practical twist. Radikal Kitchen: Flavours Without Borders: 80 dishes connecting cultures and cuisines is divided by ingredient rather than style of dish or cuisine. It’s easy to find a recipe that takes advantage of what you have in your pantry.
One can embark on a culinary odyssey across the globe with Radikal Kitchen: Flavours without Borders. Set out over 80 recipes, Radhika Howarth’s debut book takes readers on a delicious flavour trip offering something for every epicurean persuasion. We travel from India to Sri Lanka to South Africa and indeed so many other destinations with noteworthy culinary traditions. Radhika combines flavours of both East and West, with dishes like Tandoori Patatas Bravas and Tomato Tadka Burrata Salad.
There are exciting recipes here which will encourage the home cook to tweak their own favourite recipes to entice their hungry family and friends. I have a few favourites from this book, and they include Red Kidney Bean Curry, in which one can use either tinned or dried beans. A delicious meal that won’t break the bank.
Goan Fish Caldinho is special enough for a dinner party but simple to make. Queema Masoor is spicy lentils with minced lamb, and it’s pure comfort food. Lamb isn’t cheap these days, but this recipe will feed up to 6 people with 500g of mince.
Tandoori Aloo is a dish of flavourful potatoes which would work well as a side dish to a traditional roast chicken or shoulder of lamb. Macanese Garlic Prawns are both delicious and luxurious.
Radikal Kitchen: Flavours Without Borders offers culinary inspiration to suit every pocket and taste.
