Food Frolics
It happens often that we see our own country better through the eyes of an outsider. Many of us may have visited Delhi and made the mandatory trip to Chandni Chowk and Bengali Market, but how many explored fully the delights of the city’s street food and dug out long-cherished recipes? Pamela Timms does just that with a foreigner’s sense of excitement and wonder, and comes up with a slim book that is a delightful revelation of some of old Delhi’s best-kept culinary secrets, hidden away in its gullies and mohallas. Along with the food are word portraits of the people who have kept old cooking traditions alive. The book would inspire the reader not just to try some of the recipes, but also put aside fear of the infamous Delhi Belly and go in some of the food trails opened up by the intrepid Timms.
