Publisher's Synopsis
This is a unique collection of authentic Indian recipes gathered from communities thriving against all odds in the slums of Delhi. 64 easy-to-follow recipes are each accompanied by a stunning photograph. Chapters cover quick snacks and aromatic chicken, lamb and vegetarian curries, wonderful vegetable dishes, dals, rice, flatbreads and moreish desserts. The authors gathered the recipes directly from slum residents living in communities around Delhi who are served by Asha, an Indian NGO working to improve the conditions in the slums and bring hope to the urban poor. 16 of the cooks are profiled in depth, giving insight into the way their lives have been transformed by Asha's work. All proceeds from the sale of Hope & Spice go to Asha. "This is a unique way that people from the slums can bring their recipes and share their food with people from all over the world." - Dr Kiran Martin, Founder & Director of Asha.
