Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2000

Included are over 200 recipes from one of the best coastal cuisines of India. Traditionally, the Goan staple was fish, curry and rice but under Portuguese influence there developed a distinctive cuisine that combined the flavours of Indian and European cooking, with local ingredients being used to approximate the authentic Portuguese taste. This cookbook showcases an entire range of Goan food, with special attention to fish, prawn, pork and chicken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Essential, June 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Essential Goa Cookbook (Paperback)

This is a great collection of recipes that are easy to follow for anyone who is an expert or novice on Goan cooking. Menezes also makes this a wonderful reference guide, with anecdotes throughout the book on Goan life and culture.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressive, September 3, 2008

AV (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Essential Goa Cookbook (Paperback)

This book has plenty of variety including some unusual goan recipes which remind my of my grandmothers cooking but the recipes aren't entirely fool proof - especially not for the novice cook. I've had to make a few adjustments to the ingredients to make them the dishes taste authentic.
