Please teach me Indian cooking! I will bring ingredients and pay you for your trouble. I would like to know about your culture as well.”
And with this posting on Craigslist, so begins Nani Power’s journey to learn traditional Indian cooking in the most ancient of ways woman to woman. Welcomed warmly into the homes of strangers, Power meets women of all ages and backgrounds, and from them learns the skills that were passed on to them from their own mothers.
Through the senses of the kitchen, Power re-examines her own path as a woman. She takes the reader into a culture, a cuisine, and the female psyche, with recipes and stories from each chapter revealing the struggle of modern women. Along the way, she manages to fall in love when she least expects to.
The recipes shared in this collection are far from ordinary; they are treasured family recipes from vegetarian homes in India from homemade cheese cubes in a rich cilantro and almond curry to coconut-stuffed okra and luscious potato-curry dumplings. Power’s recipes and stories pave the road to understanding a culture that is at the same time ancient and so very much part of our modern world.

Review:
Praise for Ginger and Ganesh

This descriptive, introspective narrative . . . is also informative for those wishing to focus on the food.” Library Journal
