Title:
I Love India: Recipes and stories from city to coast, morning to midnight, and past to present

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover

Overview:
In this, her eighth book, Anjum Anand presents her absolute favourite dishes from all over India. This is her tribute to her homeland, to its extraordinary food culture, drawn from its diverse regions as well as from a host of traders, settlers and immigrants over the years. Anjum offers her personal collection of the most authentic recipes she has gathered over years of travelling. As vibrant as a Delhi spice market, the book reveals the vast range of flavours, cooking techniques and occasions that revolve around this popular style of cuisine, and the evocative chapters cover the times of day and celebrations that typify eating in India, such as Indian Summer, On High Days and Holidays, Sunset Bites, and Street-side Tiffin. Title I Love India: Recipes and stories from city to coast, morning to midnight, and past to present delivers a rich, immersive journey from city to coast, morning to midnight, and past to present, inviting readers to explore India’s culinary heart in a single, beautifully produced hardcover.

What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Anjum Anand’s approach to Indian cooking blends reverence for regional traditions with practical, home-cook friendly methods. This book stands out because it pairs authentic regional dishes with storytelling that contextualises flavours, techniques, and ingredients. You won’t find generic curry recipes here; you’ll discover how geography, trade and migration shaped Indian food, and how everyday cooks can recreate those experiences in a modern kitchen. The collection’s rhythm—from early-day breakfasts to festive feasts—invites both slow, mindful cooking and efficient weeknight meals. The writing combines tested technique with evocative narrative, turning cooking into a cultural journey. For families, couples or solo cooks seeking depth and variety, the book offers a reliable framework: simple, scalable methods; pantry-friendly ingredients; and flavour combinations that feel comforting yet adventurous.

Who This Book Is Perfect For:
This book is ideal for home cooks who crave Indian flavours beyond the usual comfort foods, fans of Anjum Anand’s previous work, and readers who enjoy travel-inspired food writing. It’s perfect for busy households seeking reliable, impressive meals that are doable in everyday kitchens, as well as gift buyers looking for a premium, lasting cookbook for weddings, housewarmings, or culinary enthusiasts. The storytelling and regional dishes also suit food-loving students, educators planning Indian cuisine lessons, and collectors of beautifully produced cookbooks. If you love exploring India through its ingredients—spices, grains and seasonal produce—this hardcover will become a cherished reference on your kitchen shelf.
