Gujarati Kitchen: Family Recipes For The Global Palate
Bhanu Hajratwala, a cook par-excellence, is fondly called the Martha Stewart of Gujarati cooking by her friends and family. Bhanu was raised in a traditional Gujarati family in the Fiji Islands where she developed her initial taste for authentic homemade Gujarati dishes. When she moved to the United States after mar- riage, she learned to improvise and maintain authentic flavours despite the limited availability of ingredients. Since then, she has compiled several cookbooks for community organizations, recipes for worship during ceremonies and has also conducted cooking demon- strations and classes throughout the US, New Zealand, Fiji, India and Australia.
