Synopsis Goan cuisine-a reflection of the intermingling of Arabian, Portuguese and native cultures-is a unique blend of richness and simplicity. A cuisine in which the hot, sour and spicy flavours mingle in delicate perfection; in which fresh coconut comes into its own, and fish, regarded as the "fruit of the sea" is cooked in myriad marvellous methods. This book is a rare and authentic collection of the finest Goan recipes. Starting with exotic Goan cocktails and appetisers to set the mood, the book moves on to savour fish, poultry and meats. Some unusual vegetarian preparations-Feijoada, breadfruit curry, sprouted lentil curry-make interesting accompaniments. Also, pickles and chutneys made with mangoes, prawns, lemons, and chillies add a touch of adventure. Delicious desserts finish the meal, while a special section brings you tea-time snacks and savouries-tarts, cakes, cookies, macaroons and halwas.
