Winner: Taste Canada and IPPY awards for Best International Cookbook 2016.

Noorbanu Nimji’s A Spicy Touch series has sold over 250,000 copies and is considered the “Bible of Ismaili cooking.” This new edition has been completely re-designed with new recipes added and original favourites re-tested and re-written to reflect the increased availability of ingredients. Detailed descriptions, beautiful photography and step-by-step instructions will make this a go-to book for home cooks.

Starting with soups and snacks, the book progresses through step-by-step photographs of samosa wrapping before three chapters of main dishes such as Nimji’s famous Butter Chicken and the lesser known Beef Nihari. There’s a new chapter on Indian tandoori. It finishes strong with breads, drinks, kulfi, and sweets.
