Madhur Jaffrey is a well-known writer and performer, whose work was seminal in introducing Indian and Asian cooking to the USA and UK. Her first cookbook, An 'Invitation to Indian Cooking', was an instant hit, in 1973. By then, Ms Jaffrey was already a Broadway name, living in New York. The Jaffreys' dinner parties were hugely popular, in part because of Madhur's wonderful cooking, and attended by many celebrities, such as Merchant and Ivory. She made her name from her family recipes, sent by her mother in letters from home, and their enthusiastic reception culminated in this book. Madhur's story takes us back to her childhood in Delhi, where her love of food was equalled by her love of acting, through to an interview with legendary food critic Craig Claiborne changes everything.
