"Sabrina's modern take on traditional South Asian dishes and the
stories behind them makes an entertaining and tempting book!" - Michel
Roux Jr
"Sabrina is the real deal... The delicious flavour combinations, fun
playfulness of classic dishes and a genuine love for storytelling and
recipe writing makes this a must for any bookshelf." - Ravneet Gill
"Sabrina has produced the most colourful, exciting book I've seen in a
long time, coming from the heart. Each recipe is packed with love and
vibrancy, and I can't wait to cook from it." - José Pizarro
Modern South Asian Kitchen is a fascinating collection of recipes,
encompassing traditional family dishes passed down through generations
to contemporary, eclectic recipes that reflect a collaboration between
cultures and experiences.
We see the merging of Sabrina's professional career in modern European
kitchens unite with her Punjabi heritage, culminating in 90 unique and
stunning recipes that are comforting, playful and big on flavor. She
pays homage to her mother's most iconic dishes along with personal
tributes to dishes her grandmother made. She believes that flavor and
enjoyment are imperative--and offers snacks and small plates for
entertaining, quick and light meals for midweek meals and encourages the
mixing and matching of recipes for feasting and friends--teaching us not
to be fearful of our spice cupboard. In her words, she is 'creating new
traditions as well as honoring old'. From the Only Dal You'll Ever Need
and Cauliflower Cheese Parathas to Punjabi Panzanella and Black Cardamom
Custard Tart, these are ingenious, considerately spiced recipes you
won't have seen before.
Along with a personal story of her journey, Sabrina also features
conversations with eight of her 'sisters' from South Asian heritage,
continuing the thread of connecting with your history whilst breaking
cultural and culinary boundaries. Modern South Asian Kitchen is a
thought-provoking testament to modern South Asian cuisine as well as a
joyful celebration of how cooking food brings together communities,
families and friends.
