Swing with Mango Dishes..

Goans have refined the culinary art through a unique blend of the culinary wisdom of the East and West. The dishes included in this treasure trove will reflect the romance of Goans with the mango in the kitchen. With art learnt through family traditions, Nilima has taken care to simplify the mango preparations making them user friendly and easy to master. You’ll love to learn more about the magic of mangoes appealing to your taste buds once you try the recipes in this book.

Goan mango varieties are famous for their taste and flavour and have attracted worldwide attention. The British Captain Alexander Hamilton (in 1727), a visitor to Portuguese Goa, wrote, ‘The Goan mango is reckoned the largest and the best tasted of any fruit in the world’.

This is a recipe book with a strong academic flavour. Not only does the author give us an amazing range of mango recipes, she also puts in context the importance, history, and nutritional value of the mango fruit.

As a recipe book alone it is amazing. Who would have thought that 22 varieties of desert from the mango fruit? Or that it’s possible to make 15 types of chutneys and sauces? All this and more is indeed very practical.

To name a few you can make kulfi, curd-sweet, ice-cream, pudding, jam and a chewing-block (sath) of mango, and also a mango-cashew delight! A book worth stocking at every home, both in one’s personal library and near the kitchen.
