A Taste of Serendib: A Sri Lankan Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Food
Review: I had the good fortune of being the author's housemate for a number of years, and enjoying her cooking. Her Sri Lankan recipes produce wonderful results. She even taught me (confirmed bachelor who hadn't yet learned to cook) a few recipes, so I can tell you she's very good at step-by-step instruction as well.

Summary: Sri Lankan Home Cooking
Review: I love this pretty little cookbook. It has tasty recipes that are mostly easy to prepare, with a finite number of ingredients that are easy to keep on hand, so it's more home cooking than elaborate restaurant fare. This is a sort of exotic food that you can get to know while having a busy life. And the book tells you a lot about Sri Lankan ingredients, food preparation and the role of these foods in home life. It's very new but already one of my favorite cookbooks.

Summary: not very good
Review: It's probably a good tip to never use a cookbook by someone who doesn't know that a potato is a vegetable......otherwise, not the best of food.

Review: This book is a great place to begin for those of us who are not familiar with Sri Lankan food. The introduction explains the basics and the recipes are clear, and if all else fails there is a link to the authors web page for questions.
