Are you looking for easy to cook, authentic recipes that go beyond curry? Pickles to Poppadoms is a lovingly curated collection of Anglo-Indian recipes, a culinary heritage that stretches back 500 years or more. The recipes are infused with a passion for tasty food, and inspired with a sense of adventure that allowed the fusion of East and West in a way that traditional Indian cooking did not allow. These recipes have stood the test of time, and outlived empires and rulers to continue as a living tradition today.

Filled with mischievously wry wit, this semiautobiographical narrative is an inspiring and hugely enjoyable day-by-day account of a year in the life of a myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome, sufferer. Privy to the notable events, everyday routine, and innermost thoughts of Verity Red, the skepticism and lack of understanding surrounding this recently recognized condition is addressed, as well as the common symptoms--boredom, the feeling of low self-worth, exhaustion, and the craving for comfort foods.

A woman’s return to rural England stirs up family secrets—and a chance at love—in this award-winning, “chilling [and] gripping” novel of romantic suspense (Christina Courtenay, award-winning author of Highland Storms). When Dr. Lia Thompson’s grandmother Ivy dies unexpectedly, Lia reluctantly returns to Norfolk to handle her estate. It’s an uneasy homecoming, raising old fears and new suspicions. When Lia discovers her grandmother was a town gossip with plenty of secrets, she wonders if there was more to her death than meets the eye. In her search for the truth, Lia finds an ally in ex-navy man Aidan Morrell—who also happens to be her high school crush. But the emotionally scarred Aidan has secrets of his own, and his motives for helping Lia may be hidden in a very dark place. In a world of increasing danger, is Aidan someone Lia can trust to help retrace her grandmother’s final steps? Or is Lia slowly being edged toward the same chilling fate? “A mystery as chilling as the wild Norfolk setting, with a passionate romance. A gripping read.” —Christina Courtenay

Indian cuisine is so varied that dishes from one region may be totally alien to a person from another region. The common thread that runs through most Indian food is possibly only the use of spices. Recipes are categorized in this book under the sections Singapore Indian Food, Deepavali Favourites, South Indian Dishes, North Indian Dishes and Sweets and Desserts to highlight the cooking methods and the blend of spices used in different regional Indian foods. The dishes featured are also from the more popular visitor destinations, so they would have a greater appeal.
