Details: Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Hardback ISBN: 9781784885786 Publisher: Hardie Grant Books Overview: Tandoori Home Cooking by Maunika Gowardhan brings the smoky, spiced magic of the Indian tandoor into your own kitchen. With over 70 recipes ranging from classic tandoori chicken to vibrant vegetable skewers and fluffy breads, this hardback cookbook shows how conventional ovens, grills and cast-iron pans can recreate authentic clay-oven flavour. Written by a bestselling food writer and TV chef, it's a warm, practical guide for confident weeknight cooking and impressive entertaining alike, packed with culinary heritage and genuinely achievable techniques. About the Book: Cooking in a tandoor is a technique with roots stretching back to the Bronze Age, and Maunika Gowardhan spends this book demystifying that ancient clay-oven tradition for the modern home cook. Rather than requiring specialist equipment, she shows how ovens, grills and skillets already in most kitchens can deliver that same charred edge and deep, smoky infusion tandoori cooking is famous for. Across 224 pages and more than 70 recipes, readers move through succulent marinated meats, vibrant paneer and vegetable skewers, fragrant rice, chutneys and pillowy home-made naan, each built around thoughtful spice blending and simple marination rather than long ingredient lists. The tone throughout is conversational and encouraging, leaning into the communal, celebratory spirit that has always surrounded tandoor cooking across India's streets and family kitchens. Helpful meal planners guide readers on pairing dishes for effortless entertaining, while clear technique notes suit confident beginners and experienced cooks alike. Because tandoori cooking traditionally uses less oil than many other methods, the recipes also lend themselves to lighter, healthier midweek meals without sacrificing bold, layered spicing, rewarding repeated use as confidence with spice, char and marination grows.
