Details:. Condition: BRAND NEW. Format: Hardback. ISBN: 9781526601445. Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing. Age Range: Adult. Overview. Jikoni: Proudly Inauthentic Recipes from an Immigrant Kitchen is a vibrant, boundary-crossing cookbook from acclaimed chef and restaurateur Ravinder Bhogal. Blending the flavours of East Africa, South Asia, the Middle East and Britain, Bhogal celebrates the beautiful messiness of immigrant cooking. This brand new hardback is packed with colour photography and over a hundred recipes that refuse to sit neatly in one culinary tradition, making it a joyful, generous addition to any home cook's shelf.. About the Book. Named after the Kiswahili word for "kitchen", Jikoni is both memoir and cookbook, tracing Ravinder Bhogal's journey from Kenya, where she was born to Indian parents, to London, where her childhood palate collided head-on with a new culture. The result is food that is unapologetically hybrid: dishes that borrow from one tradition and remix it with another, creating something entirely her own. Expect playful, rebellious recipes such as Cauliflower Popcorn with Black Vinegar Dipping Sauce, Spicy Aubergine Salad with Peanuts, Herbs and Jaggery Fox Nuts, Skate with Lime Pickle Brown Butter, Tempura Samphire and Nori, Lamb and Aubergine Fatteh, and an irresistible Banana Cake served with Miso Butterscotch and Ovaltine Kulfi. Running across 304 pages, the book is organised to guide cooks from punchy snacks and salads through to comforting mains, sides and indulgent puddings, each recipe threaded with personal stories about migration, belonging and the way food can hold multiple homes at once. Bhogal's writing is warm, witty and unafraid of contradiction, much like the dishes themselves. It's an ideal gift for adventurous home cooks and fans of global cuisine.. Over 100 boundary-pushing recipes blending South Asian, East African, Middle Eastern and British flavours. Beautiful colour photography throughout across 304 pages. Written by
