Edition:  1st American ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  Todayʾs most highly regarded writer on Indian food gives us an enchanting memoir of her childhood in Delhi in an age and a society that has since disappeared. Madhur (meaning sweet as honey) Jaffrey grew up in a large family compound where her grandfather often presided over dinners at which forty or more members of his extended family would savor together the wonderfully flavorful dishes that were forever imprinted on Madhurʾs palate. Climbing mango trees in the orchard, armed with a mixture of salt, pepper, ground chilies, and roasted cumin; picnicking in the Himalayan foothills on meatballs stuffed with raisins and mint and tucked into freshly baked pooris; sampling the heady flavors in the lunch boxes of Muslim friends; sneaking tastes of exotic street fare-these are the food memories Madhur Jaffrey draws on as a way of telling her story. Independent, sensitive, and ever curious, as a young girl she loved uncovering her familyʾs many-layered history, and she was deeply affected by their personal trials and by the devastating consequences of Partition, which ripped their world apart. Climbing the Mango Trees is both an enormously appealing account of an unusual childhood and a testament to the power of food to evoke memory. And, at the end, this treasure of a book contains a secret ingredient-more than thirty family recipes recovered from Madhurʾs childhood, which she now shares with us.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 641.5092 Jaffrey Ja   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Biography 641.5092 Jaffrey Ja pbk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Jaffrey Ja   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Jaffrey Ja Pap Lost 07/29/2010 Add Copy to MyList
