Indian/Pakistani Cooking- THE COOKBOOK!    

       Featuring Simplified Versions of popular Indian/Pakistani Recipes      

Joanne Weir

The Book's Foreword
The foreword for 'Flavorful Shortcuts to Indian/Pakistani Cooking, was so generously written by my favorite television personality and the talented chef and cooking teacher Ms. Joanne Weir. Ms. Joanne Weir has won numerous awards for her creative talents in the world of cooking. I have been a fan of Joanne since the early nineties, when I started following her fun filled and highly informative cooking shows on PBS. Every Saturday at mid morning the TV at my café would be on PBS tuned to her show. Her creativity and ease of style in the kitchen is amazing to watch

And more recently I have had the honor and pleasure of teaching cooking classes at some of the same schools Ms. Weir has taught and continues to teach

About This Book

Simplified recipes - Clarified steps – Clear-cut Instructions...

 

I realized through my classes that cooks interested in cooking Indian, were sometimes overwhelmed by the way some recipes were put together and the long list of too many unfamiliar ingredients and tedious steps listed. I started presenting in my classes as simple a way of cooking Indian as possible, so people who wanted to cook Indian would be more encouraged to do so in the comfort of their own kitchens!

 A whole lot of research, testing and sincere work has gone behind working out these recipes to present them in an easy to follow format, and are carefully designed for success in the very first attempt!
