Foos Fusion
A thoroughly enjoyable book about Indian food. This 'tale' of cooks and conquerors is a history of what one could call fusion cuisine. Cultures that 'sort of' conquered others did not impose their food preparations and habits onto those conquered. The environment affected the food stuffs used and how they were prepared. Yet conquerors also introduced new food stuffs. Chilies, tomatoes, and potatoes are not indigenous to the Asian sub-continent but have become a well established part of some regional cookery. When immigrants traveled to other lands they had to adapt recipes and ways of cooking to that environment. The book has some recipes at the end of each chapter and some recipes within chapters as well.
