A Sense for Spice is Tara Deshpande Tennebaum's delightful tale of food and family across three generations, a rich tapestry of recipes and stories that takes the reader from the lush Konkan coast to metropolitan Mumbai. The book is at once an introduction to Konkan cuisine, one of India's richest food cultures and a fast-paced story of a family with a passion for good food and good times. As India modernizes furiously, the author captures the fading way of life of the idiosyncratic Konkan diaspora, a complex of uniquely tolerant cultures with quirky and mysterious histories. The community and its food are brought to life through both her grandmothers' meticulously recorded recipes, some dating back to the 1800s, all adapted to suit modern kitchens. A Sense for Spice is the rare cookbook that reads like a story, filled with humor and affection, a perfect companion for a rainy night, a decadent Sunday lunch or a dabble in the kitchen with friend.
