Award-winning chef Floyd Cardoz writes in the foreword, “I love Indian cuisine, the variety it offers, the cooking techniques, and the use of flavor and texture. I want the world to enjoy and celebrate this multiplicity in food that India has to offer.” Compiled and explicated by an experienced Indian cookery expert, Sonal Ved, these authentic dishes are rarely found in other cookbooks. Bon Appetit praises: “[Tiffin is] the kind of book I’ll keep picking up and referring back to, learning something new about Indian cuisine every time.”
