Coconuts, Curry Leaves and Cinnamon

With this richly illustrated book, Jane captures the best of Sri Lankan cooking that she has mastered over the last 40 years. Many recipes have been adapted to suit taste, availability of ingredients, and ease of cooking.

 

All the recipes are vegetarian, and many are vegan. Some South Indian dishes are included—simply too good to be left out!

 

Jane presents simple, easy-to-prepare dishes that showcase the essence of Sri Lankan food, without long ingredient lists. Many recipes feature coconut, curry leaves, or cinnamon. Unique ingredients include Jaffna curry powder and jaggery.

 

In addition to recipes, the book offers handy tips and shortcuts, including sample meal combinations to impress guests. Every recipe includes one or more colour photos to guide the budding cook.

After working in Education and Road Safety for a number of years, Jane ran a hospitality business. She has worked in the voluntary sector for many years improving lives for the homeless in York. Jane is currently involved in promoting sustainable cooking techniques both in the UK and Sri Lanka and has written and co authored several books.
