In 1952 Narayani Nayak, an Udupi-based homemaker, published Cookery Craft as a 'convenient kitchen companion to every housewife'. Spanning the cuisine of the entire Konkani-speaking community of Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka, Naik's cookbook quickly became a go-to for Konkani brides, and was reprinted four times before it disappeared. That is, until food blogger Jyotsna Shahane rediscovered this lost gem. Inspired by Nayak's recipes, The Classic Konkan Cookbook is more than a second act. Shahane draws from her own experiences cooking Konkani food for over 40 years, adding new recipes and updating older ones for modern appliances and measuring techniques. From Duddi Koshambari, a delectable pumpkin flower salad and to Kori Gassi, a robust chicken curry, The Classic Konkan Cookbook features over 100 delicious recipes celebrating the freshness and simplicity of coastal food. An inspiring collection for a new generation of home cooks looking to add traditional tastes to their table.

Over two hundred recipes from one of the best coastal cuisines of India The spicy, succulent seafood of Goa is as famous as the golden beaches and lush landscape of this premier tourist destination 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. So fish and meat pies were baked with slit green chillies, assado or roast was cooked with cinnamon and peppercorns, pao or bread was fermented with toddy, and the famous baked bol was made with coconut and semolina. This innovated, largely non-vegetarian cuisine was offset by the traditional and no less sumptuous vegetarian creations from the Konkan coastland, rich with coconut and spice. The Penguin Essential Cookbooks are a pioneering attempt to keep alive the art of traditional Indian cooking. Each of the books is written by an expert chef who brings together the special recipes of a region or community along with a detailed introduction that describes the rituals and customs related to the eating and serving of food. A delicious mix of Portuguese and Konkani flavours, rich with coconut and spice. This cookbook showcases an entire range of Goan food, with special attention to fish, prawn, pork and chicken.
