Book Description

America is called a melting pot of all cultures. As the immigration of different cultures continue to flood this land of opportunity, a revolution is taking place in the fusion of their cultures and cuisines. This transformation has been very prominent in the last 50 years and it is clearly visible in the emerging American cuisine. Practically, this cuisine has fused to become a spectacular global cuisine. In my book, I am not only giving the recipes that we love so dearly but also tried to emphasize the history and origin of these recipes and describe the use of healthful ingredients and spices to prolong your life. We have to watch what we eat. I am trying to bring this point to the attention of the reader that according to ancient Indian treatises and modern scientific research, it is established that the use of spices is not only for taste but it is for their hidden meaning. They have anti-carcinogenic properties and their use is very important to maintain a good healthy lifestyle. Americans are heavily ridden with obesity, heart diseases, diabetes, breast cancer and many other diseases. Being an American East Indian pioneer with my east Indian wisdom of Ayurvedas, my idea is to make these exotic recipes as healthy as possible by using these spices. I have also tried to capture and write the history and origin of these recipes. My basic point of view is that to make the food delicious, use fresh ingredients, herbs and spices and do not try to over load them with various cheeses, creams, sugars and lards to make them delicious. You are what you eat. Most of these foreign recipes have historical dimensions and origin. They have now shaped themselves gradually to suit the American pallet and have become an integral part of American cuisine. We can make them equally delicious by wisely using healthful ingredients. In order to make these books interesting and enjoyable, they are written with easy step by step instructions. I am hopeful that these books, Americas Favorite Recipes Part I, Part II and Part III will soon become your favorite coffee table books as well as your recipe books.
