Ammas.com is the world's largest and most successful Asian food and lifestyle website, audited at over two million hits per month. Amma (which means Mother in many south Asian languages) is a south Indian housewife and grandmother who began sending recipes to her children over the Internet when they went to live and work overseas, but missed their mother's cooking. From this simple beginning Ammas.com has grown to encompass a complex, fascinating and award-winning website offering among many other services, over 5000 Indian recipes.
Demand for a cookbook from site users has led to this superb collection of genuine Indian recipes adapted for international use. Simplified cooking methods do away with mortar and pestle and tandoor ovens, replacing them with coffee grinders, microwaves and food processors. Over 75 Indian recipes, some vegetarian, are presented in clear, simple to follow steps, with explanations of Indian flavourings and cooking techniques and tips.
In addition, the book offers many delightful anecdotes of Indian village life which convey the warmth, love and traditional values of Amma's village upbringing, and expound a family tradition of nurturing hearts and memories through the art of cooking. Not a book for chefs, full of recipes you might find in an Indian restaurant, instead Amma offers recipes for cooks, with food from a mother's kitchen.
