Curry, Karma and Kama Sutra: Savoury Tastes of Romance

Curry, Karma and Kama-Sutra meets all its title's promises. It outlines the philosophy, art and craft of Indian cuisine, offering a banquet of varied dishes tested by educated palates. It conveys a sense of each individual's past, present and future in the presence of life-giving food. And it ties food and fate together in the joyful celebration of the "little death" - the endless, ancient ritual that drives mankind to survive and thrive. This is a book of poetic gastronomy and of gastronomic poetry. With its interspersed love legends, proverbs and whispered wisdom, it's an education in love as much as in Indian cooking. A powerful manifesto and guide, it belongs in the hands of everyone on a journey of the heart.
