I was at Goodwill earlier this week. It appears that Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid's book Mango & Curry Leaves is being sold as overstock for $3.99. Amazon retail is $30.
If you haven't heard of them, they're a couple who writes an interesting combination of travelogue and cookbook, with nice photographs and a good variety of authentic regional recipes. They have several books out including The Seductions of Rice, Flatbreads and Flavors (flatbreads from around the world), Hot Sour Salty Sweet (south-east Asia), and The Great Wall (China).
This one deals with India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and does a good job of including more than just dal and naan. There are many salads and pickles, as well as meat dishes. It also does a good job of showing food by regions. India is a very diverse place with different cuisines.
So if you're out this weekend and you like Indian food...or travelogues...go see if your local Goodwill has this book. I'm looking forward to the ginger pickles myself
