The Indian word Masala means a 'roasted mixture of herbs and spices'. This cookery book is a delicious mix of traditional recipes from India, Indian recipes with a Western touch, European regional dishes with an Indian twist, and new creations that combine the best of both cuisines. Seasoned to taste with atmospheric sketches and snippets of information on India.
Alain Vanden Abeele has been familiar with India for years and has been fascinated not only by the country, but also with its cuisine. This gave him the idea of publishing, together with chef Biju of Malabar House in Cochin, a book of recipes that would make Indian cuisine accessible to every devotee.
