From the by-lanes of Shanghai to the farmer's markets of Santa Monica, Ranjini Rao and Ruchira Ramanujam have been there, done that and picked up a motley of aromas, tastes and inspirations for their culinary experiments over the years. Around The World With The Tadka Girls is a diary of the authors' culinary travels and experiments together, recorded and fine-tuned after several trials and errors. It brings to you fresh, imaginative recipes, inspired by innumerable culinary quests and experiments in different cuisines, all blended with the inimitable Indian Tadka style of the authors' own kitchens.
Ranging from breakfast options that borrow flavors from Mexican kitchens and American B&B spreads, to soups and salads that smack of Polish and tropical tastes, the book conveys a world of flavors and unexpected quirky tastes. The Tadka authors' own signature dishes will transport you to train journeys of yore and visits to summer fairs, while their cakes and bakes are inspired by classic French and Mediterranean recipes. Every recipe is accompanied by real-life stories, be they visits to a school potluck or a drive down a wine trail in a Midwestern American town. The authors share these intimate moments, as well as the fruits of their labors, for you to savor and serve to your families, much as they have been doing for years.
