Trade ReviewInspired by a train journey between her parents' home towns of Kolkata and Chennai,
India Express is a collection of 75 south Indian and Bengali recipes, and Rukmini Iyer's seventh book. The first thing I made from it was Chingri Macher Malai, spiced prawns in coconut milk,
which took minutes to prep, simmered quietly for just under half an hour, and was perfect on buttered white rice. Semolina pancakes were similarly successful.
This collection follows Iyer's wildly successful roasting tin series,
rightly considered cookbooks for our times. What was it about them?
Accessibility?
Minimum fuss/maximum flavour? Layout?
Trust in the likable, reassuring person who guided you through?
All of the above - which, together with more personal material than her previous work, makes
India Express a
must-have. * Rachel Roddy, The Guardian 'Best Books of 2022' *
I am a huge fan of Rukmini Iyer's Roasting Tin cookery books, but her new one,
India Express, is my favourite yet...
an absolute joy of a book * India Knight, Sunday Times *
The most delicious things I ate this year were 'chop' from [Rukmini Iyer's]
India Express ...
The book is a practical and inspiring delight. Iyer brings her t
rademark clarity and fuss-free instruction to some of the South Indian and Bengali recipes she ate growing up. It's
veg-leaning and full of flavour. I have used the book a great deal and am keeping it in the kitchen because
this is the kind of food I want to make after Christmas indulgence. * Niki Segnit, author of 'The Flavour Thesaurus' and 'Lateral Cooking' *
